Take a stroll through Hong Kong's inland cruise ship. The Whampoa is "moored" on the site of a former dry dock. This 110-metre-long boat-shaped entertainment centre, containing cinemas, shops and clubs - the "Wonderful Worlds of Whampoa" - is the focal point of the adjacent, multi-towered HK$4 billion Whampoa Gardens housing development.
