How it's used

This specific phrasing is primarily used in formal, official, or international contexts such as sporting events, diplomatic documents, or government announcements. In casual, everyday conversation, locals almost exclusively refer to the city simply as 香港. Using the full title in a relaxed social setting can sound overly formal, political, or like someone reading from a script.
