How it's used
Refers specifically to the point or line where two distinct areas, regions, or zones meet. It is more formal than simply using 路口 for a street intersection, as it implies a boundary or a transition point between larger entities.
Examples
They met at the junction between the two districts.
Related words
Common phrases
junction between two districts
Common mistake
Avoid using this for a simple street corner or crossroads, as it sounds overly geographical or administrative. Use 路口 for everyday street intersections instead.
