Word origin

The compound 绿 (lǜ, "green") + 地 (dì, "land") describes land marked by vegetation rather than buildings or pavement.

Usage tips

  • The word usually points to a place people can use, not just a view of plants, so descriptions often mention resting, walking, or another activity there.
