水景
水景, or "water scenery," refers to the visual beauty created by bodies of water in natural or designed landscapes. This can include lakes, rivers, ponds, and fountains, which enhance the aesthetic appeal of gardens, parks, and urban areas. Water features often reflect light and surrounding elements, creating dynamic and calming environments.
In traditional Chinese culture, 水景 is an important aspect of landscape design, often found in classical gardens. These gardens, such as those in Suzhou, incorporate water elements to symbolize harmony and tranquility, inviting visitors to appreciate nature's beauty and serenity.
