How it's used
Focus on the literal components of the name when discussing local geography, as many Hong Kong locations are named after historical landmarks, colonial figures, or geographical features like bays and hills. It is a formal noun used in discussions about history, urban planning, or navigation, rather than a word used in casual directions.
