How to study place questions

Unofficial · 2026-08-28 · names and districts follow Transport Department published lists

Published Part A shape is about nine place items (plus about 20 knowledge and one route). Place items ask which district a landmark sits in, not a full street number.

Practice method

Use a map (Hong Kong Island / Kowloon / New Territories / Lantau). Do not only memorise stale app options.
Hospitals, tunnels, tourist spots, major junctions: learn the district first.
When a name is unfamiliar, open a map once — better than 20 text-only drills.
There is only about one route item, but place knowledge stops wild guesses on direction.

In this unofficial app, after a place item you can open Google Maps or an encyclopaedia page (you choose to open them). Route items also use maps to understand the path. Banks can update online; network study still uses the on-device copy.
