How it's used
Jordan is a unique case where a colonial street name effectively rebranded an entire district. While the area was historically known as Gwoon Chung, the convenience of the MTR station name cemented the name Jordan in the public consciousness. It is now the standard way to refer to the area between Tsim Sha Tsui and Yau Ma Tei.
Examples

There are many local snack shops over in Jordan.
