Definition
重地 is a formal written term for a place that is off-limits to the general public because of its strategic, sensitive, or dangerous nature. You'll see it on warning signs outside military bases, construction sites, or restricted areas (e.g. 施工重地, 闲人免进). It's not used in casual conversation — it's a fixed compound that signals 'authorized personnel only.'
