How it's used
Focuses specifically on the sense of unobstructed vision or vastness of a physical space. It is often used to describe landscapes, architectural designs, or views that make one feel relaxed and unconstrained. Unlike broader terms for size, this implies a lack of barriers or clutter.
Examples
The view here is very wide and open, I can see really far.
Do you like this kind of wide-open space?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe abstract concepts like a person's mind or personality, as 廣闊 or 開明 is preferred for those contexts. It is strictly reserved for physical space and visual range.
