경치

gyeongchi · TOPIK 1

scenery, view

🏞️ 景致 = scene (景) + reach/fine point (致): scenery at its finest

景 is the same hanja as in 풍경 (landscape) and 야경 (night view), so 경 reliably signals a view. 致 adds the sense of reaching a refined quality. Together: a view worth stopping for, as in 경치가 좋다 (the scenery is nice).
