The Chinese word 当地 means “local” or “the place where one is currently located”. It is often used to refer to the customs, traditions, and characteristics of a specific location or region. For example, when traveling to a new city in China, one might ask for recommendations on local cuisine or attractions, using the phrase “当地的风味” to refer to the local flavor or style. Similarly, when discussing a particular issue, one might consider the impact on the local community by using the phrase “当地居民” to refer to the local residents.
