How it's used
Locals often associate this area with the Youth Village or the beach, which is famous for its unique 'starfish' sand patterns at low tide. While it was once considered a remote getaway, the expansion of the MTR Ma On Shan Line has turned it into a popular residential hub. It is almost exclusively used as a proper noun for the specific geographic location.
