How it's used
Primarily refers to physical locations that attract large crowds, such as tourist attractions or trendy shopping areas. It is also frequently used in the context of social media to describe places that are popular for taking photos, often referred to as 打卡熱點. While it can metaphorically refer to a central issue or topic of discussion, the physical location meaning is much more common in daily speech.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the English loanword 熱點 used for Wi-Fi hotspots, which is also common in Hong Kong. Context usually makes it clear whether you are talking about a physical place or a network connection.
