How it's used
Locals often shorten this name to just 大老山 when discussing traffic conditions or routes. It serves as a vital artery connecting the New Territories to Kowloon, so it is frequently mentioned in radio traffic reports and navigation apps. The name itself refers to the mountain peak above the tunnel, which is a popular hiking spot.
