Definition
远游 is a literary verb meaning 'to travel far away' or 'to go on a long journey'. It carries a slightly poetic or formal tone — you'd see it in classical poetry, travelogues, or reflective writing rather than everyday conversation. The word emphasizes the distance and the sense of leaving home or familiar surroundings, often with an emotional or nostalgic undertone.
