How it's used
Refers specifically to urban centers with high foot traffic and commercial activity, such as Mong Kok or Causeway Bay. Unlike the Mandarin term 鬧區, this word emphasizes the prosperity and bustling nature of the location rather than just the noise level. It is frequently used when discussing real estate prices or the difficulty of finding a quiet spot in the city.
