How it's used
Locals often refer to this area as part of the broader Western District, known as 西環. Since the extension of the MTR Island Line, the area has undergone significant gentrification, leading to a mix of traditional dried seafood shops and trendy cafes. It is frequently associated with the historic Old Mental Hospital, now the Sai Ying Pun Community Complex.
