How it's used
Locals often associate this area with the large public housing estates and the major transport interchange at the MTR station. The name historically evolved from 鹹田 due to the salty soil of the former coastal area, which was later changed to the more auspicious sounding 藍田. It is a key residential hub in East Kowloon that serves as a gateway to the Eastern Harbour Crossing.
