Definition
尽收眼底 is a four-character set phrase (成语) meaning 'to have a panoramic view' or 'everything comes into view at a glance'. It describes a vantage point so good that you can see the entire scene without turning your head. It's used for literal scenic views (mountains, cityscapes) and metaphorical overviews (a situation unfolding before you). The subject is typically the vantage point (e.g. 山顶 'mountain top') or the viewer, and the object is the whole scene.
