Definition
外地 (wài dì) means 'another place in the same country' — an out-of-town location, not a foreign country (外国 wài guó). It contrasts with 外边 (wài bian) 'outside' (e.g., outdoors or outside a building), which is about physical location, not a different city or region.
noun
another place (in the same country)out-of-town location
