Poon Saan
Poon Saan is a small settlement on Christmas Island, an external territory of Australia. Ethnic Chinese make up the majority of inhabitants.[1] In Cantonese, Poon Saan (半山, Jyutping: bun3 saan1) means "halfway up the hill".[2] The architecture of Poon Saan reflects the Chinese heritage of the majority of residents in being Singapore style units, rather than the Western style common in the Settlement.[1]
Poon Saan is the second largest settlement on Christmas Island. The Java sparrow has become established on the island with populations near Poon Saan.[3]
