How it's used
Literary and descriptive in nature, this term is rarely used in casual urban conversation unless one is specifically discussing nature or travel. It carries a sense of vastness and untamed beauty that distinguishes it from a simple park or garden. When describing a smaller or more manicured grassy area, locals prefer terms like 草地.
