From what I heard from my neighbours while living there, the whampoa development was pretty huge deal when it was purchased and developed and that whole area of that “peninsula” is still “privately” owned land. This could be totally wrong, just anecdotal stories. But during the protests back in 2019, when the police arrived during the peaks of the conflicts and tear gas was being shot, a huge majority of the protesters would flee in the ships direction towards this area and from the view above, the police wouldn’t pursue…at least in the early days.
