Definition
重返 means 'to return to (a place, position, or state)' — it emphasizes going back after an absence, often with a sense of re-entering. It is more formal than 返回 (HSK5, general 'return, go back'), and less abstract than 回归 (HSK7, formal 'return to a place/state', often political). Common in writing for returning to one's hometown, school, or job.
