How it's used
Refers specifically to the visual aesthetic of an outdoor environment or a view. While it can be used for natural landscapes, it is equally common for urban views like the Hong Kong skyline. It is almost always paired with descriptors like 靚 or 唔錯 to evaluate the quality of the view.

Common mistake
Avoid using it for the interior design of a room or the look of an object, as it is strictly for outdoor or wide-angle views. For general appearances of people or things, use 樣或者外表 instead.
