How it's used
Geographical names in Hong Kong often preserve older romanizations or specific local pronunciations that do not always align with modern standard Cantonese. When discussing hiking routes, locals often refer to the mountain simply as the peak or the trail rather than repeating the full name once the context is established.
Examples
Let's go hiking at Por Kai Shan together tomorrow.
