I think Whampoa is a great example of " community and character integration ":

  • If you are a tourist : You must take a photo of the "Whampoa" ship-shaped shopping mall, it is very unique.
  • If you are a resident : grocery shopping, dining, and entertainment, all in one place.
  • If you are a foodie : There are many restaurant choices, whether it is a fast food restaurant or a family dinner.

To sum up, The Whampoa is not a luxury shopping mall, but a practical + landmark + community shopping and entertainment place, simple yet unique!
