Definition
田园 (tiányuán) refers to the countryside in an idyllic, pastoral sense — it evokes peace, beauty, and a rural ideal, not just a geographic area. Unlike 农村 (nóngcūn) or 乡村 (xiāngcūn), which are neutral terms for rural villages or farming areas, 田园 carries a romantic or poetic feeling, often used in phrases like 田园生活 (pastoral life) or 田园风光 (rural scenery).
noun
