Definition
四处 is a noun meaning 'all around, in all directions', often used with verbs like 看 (look) or 飞 (fly) to emphasize movement or searching in every direction. It is similar to 到处 (adverb, 'everywhere'), but 四处 focuses more on the physical directions or areas around you, while 到处 is broader and more general. 四周 (sì zhōu) is narrower, meaning just 'surroundings' or 'perimeter'.
