Walking Guide

Walk west along Niyang Road and, after passing the entrance gate of Songzanlin Monastery on your right, continue towards the right前方. (Note: The phrase "向右前方行走" is a bit ambiguous in English, and "continue towards the right前方" is used to maintain the closest meaning. If "right前方" means to go straight ahead after turning right, you could say "turn right and continue straight ahead" instead.) For clarity, a better translation might be: Walk west along Niyang Road, pass the entrance gate of Songzanlin Monastery on your right, then turn right and continue straight ahead.
