Walking Guide

Walk west along Niwang Road and pass the Songzanlin Monastery gate (on your right), then proceed to the right前方. (Note: The phrase "向右前方行走" can be translated as "proceed to the right" or "head to the right front." I've chosen "proceed to the right" as it sounds more natural in English.)
