向阳 is an adjective meaning 'sun-facing' or 'facing the sun.' It describes something that is positioned to receive sunlight, often used in contexts like architecture, agriculture, or nature.

The character 向 (xiàng) means 'toward' or 'facing,' and 阳 (yáng) means 'sunlight' or 'sunny side.' Together, they literally translate to 'facing the sun,' emphasizing direction and light exposure.
