How it's used

This location serves as a nostalgic cultural landmark for many Hong Kongers who grew up in the late twentieth century. While the actual flagpoles still stand outside the Star Ferry pier, the term is less frequently used as a primary meeting point by younger generations who now prefer digital coordination or specific mall entrances. It carries a strong sense of local history and serves as a quintessential example of a public rendezvous spot before the era of mobile phones.
