How it's used
Focuses on public displays or processions, often involving costumes, music, or floats for celebratory events. While it can function as a verb, it is frequently used as a noun in compound phrases like 花車巡遊 or 嘉年華巡遊. It implies a sense of organized movement through a public space rather than just aimless walking.
Examples
There is a float parade next week.
They are parading down the street.

Common mistake
Avoid using this for casual strolls or walking for exercise, as it specifically carries the connotation of a formal or festive procession. Use 行街 or 散步 for casual walking instead.
