How it's used
This name is a portmanteau formed by combining the first characters of 路環 and 氹仔. It specifically refers to the reclaimed land area connecting these two islands, which has become the primary hub for large-scale casino resorts in Macau. Locals use it as a distinct geographical identifier separate from the older city center of Macau Peninsula.
