Walking at Whampoa, is the largest private housing estate in Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It was built on the site of the former Whampoa Dockyards by Hutchison Whampoa Property. The urban design of the estate incorporates concepts inspired by the Garden city movement and was completed in 1991.
The estate covers 19 hectares and consists of 12 complexes. Ten are residential/commercial mixed use, with a total of 88 16-storey residential high-rise towers. The other two are solely commercial use. There was a height restriction on the buildings due to its proximity to the Kai Tak Airport at the time. It includes eight shopping arcades, three supermarkets, a cinema, hundreds of restaurants and shops, a karaoke, five primary schools, mini-parks and two public transport interchange. Most notable shops include Sushiro, AEON (Japanese department store), Sukiya, Wonderland Superstore and so many more.
The Whampoa, a long boat-shaped shopping centre
Notable commercial outlets include the first ParknShop Hong Kong Superstore, which was opened in 1996 in Whampoa Garden Phase 12 with a floor space of 4,200 square metres (45,000 sq ft); as of 2011, there are over 50 superstores in Hong Kong. Also, The Whampoa is a 110 metres (360 ft)-long boat-shaped shopping centre built in the original No. 1 Dry Dock, in Phase 6. During the 1980s and 1990s, the structure housed a playground on the top and "deck" level, seafood restaurants, a cinema on other floors above ground levels; the department store Yaohan on ground and basement level, and an indoor family theme park with an arcade game centre and a roller skating rink on lower basement level. In late 1990s, the department store was taken over by JUSCO department store. The JUSCO department store was renamed to AEON in 2013, to be consistent with the name change adopted by its parent company in Japan. In May 2016, the department store was renovated and renamed as AEON Style after its reopening in September the same year.
There is also a promenade along sea side, from Laguna Verde to Hung Hom Ferry Pier. It is also linked to the Avenue of Stars. One can walk from Hunghom Pier to Tsim Sha Tsui Pier in about 40 minutes.
