How it is used

  • A somewhat formal/written word for "to travel, to go out (on a trip)" - 出行方式 (chūxíng fāngshì) mode of travel/transportation, a common phrase in news and transit apps.
  • Covers both short trips (running errands) and longer journeys, unlike English which usually needs different words.
  • In casual daily speech, people just say 出去 (chūqù) go out or 旅行 (lǚxíng) travel; 出行 shows up more in official contexts like traffic reports and holiday travel advisories.

Example sentences

  • 他喜欢骑马出行。 Tā xǐhuān qímǎ chūxíng.He likes to go out on horseback.
