How it's used
This term is primarily used in the context of Taiwan administrative divisions. It is rarely used to describe Hong Kong, as Hong Kong is a single city and does not have a county system. When referring to local districts in Hong Kong, use 區 instead.

Common mistake
Do not use this to refer to Hong Kong districts, as it will sound like you are talking about Taiwan geography. Use 區 for Hong Kong administrative areas.
