Definition
观光 (guānguāng) specifically means 'to go sightseeing' — visiting scenic or tourist spots as a leisure activity. It is narrower than 游览 (yóulǎn, 'to tour'), which can include any leisurely visit, and is different from 参观 (cānguān, 'to visit for inspection/learning'). 观光 is often used in compounds like 观光客 (sightseer) and 观光巴士 (sightseeing bus).
