How it's used
Geographic names in Hong Kong often follow specific local conventions that differ from standard Mandarin. While Kowloon is a major district, specific hills or peaks are often referred to by their local names rather than direct translations. Always check if a specific hill has a widely accepted English name before using a literal translation.
