How it's used
This term carries a literary and poetic flair that distinguishes it from the plain phrase 郊遊. It is rarely used in casual, everyday conversation and is more likely to appear in written descriptions, social media captions, or when someone wants to sound particularly refined. It specifically evokes the imagery of walking on fresh spring grass.
Examples
Let's go for a spring outing together this weekend.
Where did you guys go for a spring outing last week?
