I need a translation for the phrase as a whole not two words separately.
I need it in common Chinese if that’s a thing, but I mean the most general simple Chinese there is.

1Can you first give the English meaning of the phrase, because "go places" can mean a lot of different things? – River Sep 18 '20 at 21:01

It's go place"s", not place. If already happened: 经验老道 or 见过世面。If not yet happen 各处看看 or 走偏天下, based on the denotation of the phrase. But River is right: you do need to clarify the context. – James Liu 刘老师 Sep 18 '20 at 22:13

Don't think "go places" has anything to do with travelling. :) – monalisa Sep 19 '20 at 0:13

Obviously 'go places' = 去地方 is a literal interpretation of an idiomatic expression – Tang Ho♦ Sep 19 '20 at 0:16

Hi guys, maybe I haven't made it clear enough. What I meant by to "go places" is to succeed. But the thing is I was hoping to find a phrase that says that in Chinese, not just the word 'succeed'. Hope it's clearer now. Thank you. Cheers. – Jasmine El-Tagi Sep 19 '20 at 22:43

If you're looking for a four-character chengyu (成語) I would offer "出人頭地" - to become head and shoulders above the rest.
She's a smart kid; one day she will go places.
她資質聰穎，有一天會出人頭地的。
Cambridge Dictionary: Go places: to be likely to be successful in the future:
It is "有好前途/ 有前途 " (have a great future) in Chinese
Example:
如果你想有好前途，你需要跟随我 - If you want to go places (have a great future), you need to follow me
這傢伙終有一天會有好前途 - This guy will go places (have a great future) someday
You can also use 前途光明 (have a bright future)
