The Whampoa

The Whampoa is one of the largest shopping/lifestyle destinations in the area, covering at my estimate 9 city blocks, and reportedly 1.4 million square feet. There are over 300 stores here.

The Whampoa is comprised of seven themed worlds, namely Whampoa Gourmet Place, Fashion World, Treasure World, Home World, Amazing World, Screen World, Pebbles World and the landmark of the area, being a large ocean cruiser. The 360-foot long boat houses a gym, MTR exit, and many restaurants.

Shopping

The shopping highlights for visitors are likely to be the fashion zone with other areas mostly housing stores relative to daily life in HK. At Fashion World you will find the two major tenants H&M and UNIQLO, along with numerous smaller fashion stores. The next major tenant is at The Whampoa which is AEON being a massive department store and supermarket.
