How it's used
Specific station names in Guangzhou are often referred to by their Mandarin pinyin names in formal contexts, but Cantonese speakers will naturally use the Cantonese pronunciation of the characters when speaking. It functions exactly like any other place name in a sentence, usually following the preposition 喺 when describing a location. It is common to drop the word 站 when the context of being at a metro station is already clear.
