You can't miss it
Informal Polite
What it really means
Said at the end of directions, meaning the place is easy to see or find. Be warned: it is said with great confidence, and people do sometimes still miss it. If you get lost, just ask someone else.
Chinese explanation
指路结尾常说的话，意思是那地方很显眼、很好找。友情提示：说的人总是很自信，但你还是可能找不到。迷路了就再问别人。
