When to use 向 for “Toward” a Direction or Place
向 (xiàng) is a preposition that shows the direction of an action. Put 向 + a direction word (前, 后, 左, 右, 东, 西, 南, 北, 外, 上…), a place, or a person before the verb: 向前走 “walk forward,” 向左转 “turn left,” 向我跑过来 “run over toward me.” The verb is usually a movement or looking verb such as 走, 跑, 转, 飞, 看. 向 tells you which way the action goes; it does not say that you get there. To name where you arrive, use 到 or 去.
一直向前走，就能看到学校。
Keep walking straight ahead and you’ll see the school.
到了路口向左转。
Turn left when you reach the crossing.
小狗向我跑过来了。

他站在窗前，向外看。
He stood at the window and looked out.
흔한 실수
- 向 gives the direction, not the arrival point: say 去学校 or 到学校, not just 向学校, when you mean “get to school.”
- Put 向 + direction before the verb: 向左转, 向前走.
- Don’t mix up 向 (xiàng, “toward”) with 像 (xiàng, “to look like”) or 想 (xiǎng, “to think”).
