Definition
古迹 (gǔ jì) refers to a historical site or place of historic interest, often well-preserved or maintained. 遗址 (yí zhǐ) specifically means ruins or remains of an ancient structure or settlement, often excavated. So 古迹 is broader, focusing on the place's historical significance, while 遗址 emphasizes the physical remains.
