逛逛 (guàng guang) — to take a leisurely stroll; to wander around casually

Definition

Reduplicated form of 逛, meaning to wander around casually for pleasure — softer and briefer than a single trip out, so it often takes a duration like 一会儿. Use for relaxed window-shopping or strolling, not purposeful errands.
