How it's used
The name is a portmanteau created specifically for the MTR station, combining the characters from the nearby areas of 欣澳灣 and 陰澳. It was chosen to sound more positive and pleasant than the original name 陰澳, which contains the character for shade or gloom. Locals almost exclusively use this name in the context of transit or visiting the theme park.
Examples
We are transferring at Sunny Bay to go to Disneyland.
