How it's used
Locals primarily associate this name with the tourist attraction on Cheung Chau island, which is accessible via a short hike. While other caves share the same name across Hong Kong, they are rarely visited by the general public and are often difficult to locate without local knowledge. The name carries a sense of adventure and pirate folklore that remains a staple of Hong Kong cultural history.
