How to Say ‘End of the lane’ in Traditional Chinese
巷口
xiàng kǒu
[xiàngkǒu]
💬 Usage Tip: 巷 (xiàng) is a small lane and 口 (kǒu) means "mouth", so 巷口 is where the lane opens onto the street. The same idea gives 路口 (lù kǒu) "intersection".
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Taiwanese neighborhoods are built around narrow lanes, and the spot where a lane meets the main road is a natural landmark. People often say 巷口 to point to the little food stall or shop right there.
