围观 (wéi guān) — to gather around and watch (a physical scene); (online) to spectate, to follow a public incident as a bystander

Definición

围观 (wéi guān) is to crowd around in a circle and watch — usually a scene, incident, or online post. Unlike 观看 (neutral 'to watch/view'), it implies a passive crowd of bystanders; unlike 观望, it does not imply a cautious wait-and-see attitude.
