How it's used
This adjective is almost exclusively reserved for describing grand, expansive natural landscapes like oceans, mountain ranges, or vast horizons. It carries a sense of awe and scale that goes beyond simple beauty. While it is a standard term, it sounds slightly more literary or descriptive than everyday adjectives like 靚 or 大.
Examples
The sea view here is truly magnificent.

Common mistake
Learners often mistakenly use this to describe man-made structures or small-scale objects. It is not appropriate for buildings, rooms, or personal items, where words like 宏偉 or 寬敞 would be more suitable.
