Definition
This four-character idiom literally means 'people's footprints rarely arrive,' referring to a place that is very remote, isolated, or seldom visited by people. It emphasizes the wild, untouched nature of a location—like a deep forest, mountain peak, or desert. Use it to describe places that remain natural and free from human activity.
