Definition
无边无际 (wú biān-wú jì) is a fixed idiom meaning 'boundless, limitless,' used for vast physical spaces like the sky or ocean. Unlike 漫长 (màn cháng, long time/process) or 无穷 (wú qióng, inexhaustible), it emphasizes the absence of visible edges. It is more vivid and concrete than 茫茫 (máng máng, indistinct vastness) or 浩瀚 (hào hàn, grand and immense).
