How it's used
Focuses on the physical movement of separate entities coming together to form a single path or group. It is frequently used in formal contexts like traffic reports or military maneuvers, but also works for casual plans to meet up with friends. Unlike simple verbs for meeting, it implies a sense of merging or joining forces rather than just standing in the same spot.
Examples
Let's meet up at the MTR station exit.
Several lines of traffic converged at the intersection, causing a total gridlock.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 集合, which is more commonly used for people gathering together in one place for a specific purpose. 匯合 carries a stronger sense of movement towards a common point or merging into a single flow.
