Definition
沿途 (yán tú) means 'along the way' or 'during the journey', focusing on the places or events encountered while traveling from one point to another. It differs from 沿线 (yán xiàn), which refers specifically to the area along a fixed transportation line (e.g., railway, highway). 沿途 is more about the experience of the journey itself, not just the physical route.
