How it's used
Locals often refer to this area by its specific neighborhood character, which has historically been a mix of older residential buildings and small workshops. Since the opening of the MTR station, the area has become much more accessible to the rest of the city, changing the perception of it being a remote district. When giving directions, people rarely use a measure word before the name itself.
