Definition
偏僻 (piān pì) describes a place that is remote, hard to reach, and often desolate — it emphasizes being out-of-the-way and isolated. Compared to 偏远 (piān yuǎn, 'far from civilization'), 偏僻 focuses more on the lack of access and seclusion; compared to 僻静 (pì jìng, 'quiet and secluded'), 偏僻 has a stronger sense of being desolate or forsaken.
