How it's used
Refers specifically to the outdoor space located directly in front of a house, often used as a small garden or a driveway area. It is distinct from 後園, which is the backyard and typically offers more privacy for laundry or personal leisure. Most residential buildings in dense urban areas like Mong Kok or Central do not have such spaces, so the term is more common when discussing detached houses or village houses in the New Territories.
