How it's used
Often used in poetic or hyperbolic contexts to describe places that are physically or metaphorically unreachable. It frequently appears in the four character idiom 海角天邊, which emphasizes the vast distance between two points on earth. Unlike literal descriptions of the sky, this term carries a sense of romanticized isolation or extreme remoteness.
Examples
It is like he went to the edge of the world, there is absolutely no news from him.
