Definition
漫步 means 'to stroll' or 'to wander leisurely', often in a scenic or calm setting. It is a separable verb (离合词): measure words or other elements can go between 漫 and 步, as in 漫了一个步 ('took a stroll'). However, in everyday speech it is more commonly used as a solid two-character verb. The tone is more literary than 散步 (sàn bù).
