How it's used
Geographic names like Jiangcheng are used in conversation exactly as they are in written Chinese, though they are often preceded by the word 喺 to indicate location. It is important to note that 江城 is a specific administrative district, so it is rarely used in abstract or poetic contexts in daily Cantonese speech.
Examples
I am going to Jiangcheng to visit relatives next week.
