乡下 (xiāng xia): countryside; rural area

My grandfather has lived in the countryside his whole life, getting up early every day to work in the fields and breathe fresh air.

During summer vacation, my mother sent me to my grandmother's house in the countryside to experience rural life.

Although the countryside isn't as lively as a big city, it's quiet and has good air, very suitable for retirement.

Many young people choose to leave the countryside and find jobs in the city, hoping for better development opportunities.

On the weekend, our whole family drove to the countryside to pick strawberries, and the children had a great time playing in the fields.
