How it's used
Refers primarily to the famous scenic area in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, which is a popular tourist destination for Hong Kong residents. While the name appears in multiple locations, context usually makes it clear whether the speaker is referring to the karst landscape in Guangdong or other geological formations elsewhere. It functions as a proper noun for specific geographical sites rather than a generic term for a type of cave or rock.
