How it's used
Refers specifically to physical location or position, often interchangeable with 下面. While it can denote the region south of Guangzhou, this usage is increasingly dated or specific to older generations in the Pearl River Delta. In modern Hong Kong Cantonese, 下面 is far more common for general spatial reference.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to mean 'under' in abstract senses, such as under a specific policy or rule, where other structures are preferred. It is strictly spatial.
