How it's used
Public housing estates in Hong Kong are often referred to by their specific names followed by 邨. When giving directions or talking about locations, it is common to include the particle 喺 before the estate name to indicate location. These names are proper nouns and are almost always used with the full name to avoid confusion with other nearby residential areas.
Examples
I live in Po Tat Estate, it is very convenient to take the bus.
