太湖

太湖烟波宽阔，岛渚点缀，与江南茶、园、水乡相连。它不如西湖被题咏得密，却更像江南日常的水底色——船、桥、市与远处的山影。

Tai Hu is wide, island-dotted, tied to Jiangnan tea, gardens, and water towns. Less densely inscribed than West Lake, it is more like daily Jiangnan—boats, bridges, markets, and distant hills.

与西湖、江南诗并读：精致南方不只靠一座名湖。太湖提醒人，江南的「软」来自水网的密度，而非单一景点。

Pair with West Lake and Jiangnan poetry: the soft south comes from a dense water network, not one famous pond.
