How it's used
Refers specifically to the former British naval base site in Admiralty, which now houses the Central Government Complex. While historically named after the ship HMS Tamar, locals use it as a landmark name for the waterfront area rather than the vessel itself. It carries a strong sense of colonial history and political significance in modern Hong Kong.
