Tips

usage
环山 is usually used in the set pattern 四面环山 ('surrounded by mountains on all sides') to describe basin geography — standard real-estate copy for scenic villages. As a modifier, 环山公路 ('mountain-ring road') and 环山铁路 ('mountain-ring railway') follow an encircling route.
grammar
as a verb/prefix means 'to ring, encircle.' It's highly productive in place descriptions: (ringed by sea), (around a lake), (ring road around a city).
