How it's used
This term is primarily used in formal or administrative contexts, such as government reports or news broadcasts, rather than in casual daily conversation. When speaking informally about places that are far away or hard to reach, locals are much more likely to use phrases like 偏僻地方 or 山卡啦.
Examples
He lives in a remote area, so commuting to work is very inconvenient.
Will the government develop those remote areas?

Common mistake
Learners often use this term in everyday speech, which can sound overly stiff or like a textbook translation. Use 偏僻地方 for a more natural, conversational tone when describing a location that is out of the way.
