Tseung

Tseung is a Cantonese romanization used in certain Hong Kong place names and historical spellings. It is most closely associated with the Chinese name 將軍澳, commonly rendered in English as Tseung Kwan O. In this name, 將 means “general,” 軍 means “military,” and 澳 means “bay” or “harbor,” together forming a toponym often translated as General’s Bay.

Tseung Kwan O is a district and new town situated on the Sai Kung Peninsula in the New Territories of Hong Kong. It includes residential areas such as Hang Hau and Po Lam, along with the central Tseung Kwan O town centre. The area has undergone rapid development since the late 20th century and is known for its coastal setting, modern housing, and waterfront amenities.

Transport and infrastructure in Tseung Kwan O are anchored by the MTR Tseung Kwan O Line, which connects the district to other parts of Hong Kong since the early 2000s. The town features and continues to develop shopping centers, parks, schools, and waterfront promenades, reflecting its role as a major Hong Kong new town with a growing commuter and residential population.

Name usage: The term Tseung appears primarily in this and related Hong Kong place-name contexts. Outside such contexts, its use as a standalone given name or surname is limited, and it is not widely used in standard personal-name conventions.
