Definition
路线 (lù xiàn) is a noun meaning a specific route, line, or itinerary—either a physical journey route or a political/ideological course. It is more concrete and specific than 路 (lù, 'road, way') and broader than 线路 (xiàn lù, often for circuits or fixed transport lines). Unlike 行程 (xíng chéng, itinerary/plan) or 路程 (lù chéng, distance), 路线 emphasizes the line or path itself.
