The Chinese word "游玩" (yóuwán) is composed of two characters: "游" (yóu) and "玩" (wán). The character "游" originally meant "to walk" or "to travel", and later extended to mean "to play" or "to have fun". The character "玩" originally meant "to look at" or "to observe", and later extended to mean "to play" or "to have fun". Thus, the word "游玩" (yóuwán) literally means "to travel and play" or "to have fun while traveling". It is often used to refer to activities such as sightseeing, hiking, or going to an amusement park.
