Definition
安乐窝 is a chengyu-like set phrase that literally means 'a nest of peace and happiness'. It describes a cozy, comfortable home or retreat where one can relax and enjoy life. The word carries a slightly informal, affectionate tone — you might use it for your own home, a favorite café, or any place that feels like a personal sanctuary. It's not used for grand or formal settings.
