“周围” is a preposition rather than a verb. You might have mistaken it for “包围”. But “包围” is not the best choice here because it is an action usually carried out by people.

[AbunPang]

Place adverbs have to go before the verb, either between the it and the subject or to the very front. The only case where a place can go after the verb is if the verb is something like 在 or 去 which require a place to make sense at all. For these verbs you can think of the place as the object of the verb.

I think zhou1wei2 is a proposition, not a verb. So it's more like 'around' instead of 'surrounds'.
