Visit to Bonsai Gardens in TaiWan

   10th Asia-Pacific Bonsai And Suiseki Convention & Exhibition opened in  Taiwan on October 31th, 2009. A delegation of hundreds of bonsai enthusiasts from Chinese mainland travelled to Taiwan for the distinguished meeting. Moreover, the delegation travelled around for bonsai investigation and collecting. The local bonsai lovers warmly and friendly received the delegation.
   It’s commonly believed by the delegates that Taiwan bonsai is a characterized school which is worth learning and borrowing. Delegation members are also convinced experiences of this convention will make (WBFF) World Bonsai Convention 2013 better. Taiwan’s bonsai is so amazing that two delegates purchased a piece at cost of 2,500,000 RMB, respectively.
   This journey to Taiwan, which was fruitful and impressive, has been a important part in bonsai history of both sides of Taiwan Strait. 
 

中国大陆盆景爱好者宝岛之行

 
   第十届亚太地区盆景赏石会议暨展览在宝岛台湾举行。中国大陆组织了数百名盆景爱好者组成的交流考察团赴宝岛参会。会后又去台湾各盆景园参观考察和选购盆景，所到之处都受到台湾盆景界的热情接待。过去海峡两岸盆景爱好者虽交流不断，经常举办展览和论坛，但从未像此次如此广泛和深入，相见交谈甚欢，倍感亲切。
   大家认为台湾盆景赏石特色鲜明，独树一帜，有许多值得学习借鉴的地方。考察团也认真考察了这次台湾办会的经验以使2013年WBFF大会在中国办得更好。台湾的盆景使有些大陆盆景爱好者爱不释手，有二位盆景收藏者就各自选购了价值超过二百五十万人民币的盆景。
   这次大陆盆景爱好者赴台之行普遍感到收获颇丰，印象深刻难忘，在海峡两岸盆景艺术发展史上写下了美好的篇章。
