How it's used
Pronunciation of the first character is often a point of confusion for non native speakers. While the character 滘 is technically pronounced with a different tone in some contexts, local residents and ferry operators almost exclusively use the pronunciation that rhymes with the word for school, 校. It is primarily known as the location of the only public golf course in the territory.
Examples
Shall we go to Kau Sai Chau to play golf together tomorrow?
