How it's used

Names of mainland Chinese metro stations are typically pronounced using Cantonese readings of the characters rather than Mandarin pinyin. Locals will refer to this station by the Cantonese pronunciation of 廈 and 滘, which differs significantly from the Mandarin sound. It functions as a proper noun and is almost always preceded by the particle 喺 when describing location.
