Definition
壮丽 (zhuànglì) describes a scene or thing that is grand and awe-inspiring in scale and beauty — like a mountain range or monument. It emphasizes a powerful, imposing majesty, distinct from 华丽 (huálì 'gorgeous, ornate'), which focuses on rich decoration and elegance. 壮观 (zhuàngguān) is similar but often used for a specific spectacle or view.
