How it's used

Although this term is technically the written equivalent of 遊客, it carries a slightly more literary or descriptive tone. You will often see it used in news reports or formal signage to describe crowds of visitors in a specific location. In casual daily speech, people almost exclusively prefer using 遊客 instead.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 遊人 as a verb phrase meaning to wander around, which is not standard usage. Stick to using it strictly as a noun for people visiting a place.
