See the elephant 开眼界
    2021-06-03  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A: Jennifer has found a job teaching in the middle school near her parents’ home after graduating from college.

B: Really? I’ve never understood those people who go to college, get jobs, and get married in the same town where they grew up — surely you’d want to get out and see the elephant a bit, no?

Note: This idiom, mostly used in the United States, means “to see life, the world or the sights and gain true and valuable experience of the world, whether negative or positive.” The image of an elephant is used because the animal is foreign and exotic to Americans.
