The waterfront site is now a museum with interpretive exhibits and a not-to-miss guided tour.
Many detainees were held here for long periods before ultimately being returned home; one of the most compelling sights on the island is the sad, wistful Chinese poetry etched into the barrack walls. Tours can be reserved ahead (but only for large groups) or try your luck buying first-come, first-served tickets upon arrival.
The site will soon expand, with the adjacent Immigration Station Hospital scheduled to open in late 2020.
