How it's used
Locals often use this term to refer to the administrative district rather than a specific neighborhood. It covers a large stretch of the northern Hong Kong Island coastline, so people usually specify the exact area like 北角 or 柴灣 for clarity. It is frequently mentioned in the context of public services or district council elections.
