走廊

走廊 refers to a passage or hallway, typically found in buildings such as homes, schools, or offices. It is a narrow, enclosed space that connects different rooms or areas.

The character 走 (zǒu) means 'to walk,' and 廊 (láng) refers to a covered walkway or corridor. Together, they suggest a place designed for walking or moving through, often with a roof or ceiling overhead.

走廊 is commonly used in everyday language to describe the passageways in public buildings, residential complexes, or schools. In Chinese architecture, it often serves both functional and aesthetic purposes, sometimes featuring windows or decorative elements.
