How it's used
Locals often refer to the district as Tuen Mun, but it is historically and colloquially associated with being far from the city center. The phrase "悲情城市" was once used in media to describe the area due to social issues in the past, though this label has faded significantly as the district has modernized. It is well known for its light rail system, which is a primary mode of transport within the district.
