Definition
Hanxi Changlong Station, a metro station in Guangzhou, China.
How it's used
This station serves as a major transit hub for tourists heading to the nearby Chimelong theme parks. Locals often refer to it simply as 漢溪 when discussing the metro line, as the full name is quite long. It is essential to note that while it is a Guangzhou Metro station, the name is pronounced using Cantonese readings of the characters in Hong Kong, which differs from the Mandarin pronunciation used in Guangzhou.
