How it's used
Refers specifically to the physical curve or meander of a riverbed. While technically accurate, it is more commonly encountered in geography textbooks or formal descriptions of landscapes rather than casual daily conversation. Locals often prefer simpler terms like 彎 or 河彎 when talking about a river bend in a relaxed setting.
