Whampoa
Whampoa is a residential area built on an old shipyard site.
This is a building in the shape of a ship, probably to commemorate
the shipyard. There is a department store inside and maybe also
a cinema.
 Not too long ago, a new restaurant
complex named Whampoa Guormet Place was opened right across the
street. But it is nothing ordinary. It was opened by a food conosiour,
gathering some 10 of the best local restaurants that he had found.
Be prepared to wait more than a few minutes for a table!
Since it is not close to an MTR station, you will need to get
there by mini-bus or a taxi. The green mini-bus (i.e. "maxi-cab")
going to Whampoa from Tsim Sha Tsui (close to the back entrance
of Salisbury YMCA) passes right by it.
