The Chinese name for the channel means "Carp Gate"[2] and is pronounced Lei5 yu4 mun4 in Cantonese. It has been variously transcribed and translated over the years, appearing as the Ly-ce-moon Pass,[3] the Ly-ee-moon Pass,[4]Ly-e-Mun Pass,[5]Lyemun, Lymoon, and the Lye Moon Passage.[citation needed]
Lei Yue Mun is in Primary One Admission (POA) School Net 48. Within the school net are multiple aided schools (operated independently but funded with government money) and Kwun Tong Government Primary School.[12]
