How it's used
Refers to a broad, often panoramic view of a situation or a state of affairs rather than a specific visual object. It is frequently used in formal or literary contexts to describe the overall atmosphere or development of a place or event. While it can describe physical landscapes, it is most powerful when capturing the abstract vibe of a changing society or a specific moment in time.
Examples
The prosperous scene here is truly rare.
What do you feel when you see that desolate scene?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe a simple view or a small sight, as it carries a sense of scale or significance. For a casual view out of a window or a specific visual spot, use 景色 or 風景 instead.
