Along 顺着
The trail follows the river until it reaches the old bridge. 顺着 introduces the route or line you follow; 逆着 points the other way, against its direction. The same contrast works for a road, a current, or a line of reasoning.
从车站出来以后，顺着这条路一直走，就能看见博物馆。

沿着河边顺着人行道走，十分钟后就到公园入口。

Walk along the riverside path, and you’ll reach the park entrance in ten minutes.
我们顺着山路往上走，快到山顶时天就黑了。

We followed the mountain path uphill; by the time we were near the top, it was getting dark.
