Definition
路过 (lù guò) means 'to pass by' a place, often incidentally while going somewhere else. It focuses on going past a location without stopping or entering. Compare 经过 (jīng guò), which can also mean 'to pass through' or 'to undergo an experience', and 过去 (guò qù), which is more about directional movement (go over) or time passing.
