Definition
该区 is a formal, written compound combining the demonstrative pronoun 该 ('the said / this') with 区 ('area, district'). It functions as a noun phrase meaning 'this area' or 'the aforementioned district' and is typical in official documents, news reports, and administrative contexts. Unlike everyday 这个区, 该区 carries a detached, authoritative tone and is rarely used in casual conversation.
