Definition
奇迹 (qí jì) is a noun meaning 'miracle, marvel, wonder' — an extraordinary event that seems impossible or divine. Unlike 神奇 (shén qí), which is an adjective describing something as 'miraculous' or 'magical', 奇迹 is the event itself. 奇观 (qí guān) refers to an impressive natural or man-made sight, not necessarily a miraculous event.
