It's amazing that his bonsai has set a Guinness record.

The pine and cypress are gloomy and vigorous, and the path is leisurely and carefree.

This was the first impression I got when I stepped into the Botai Garden, which is located on the outskirts of Taipei and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. If we say that Yangmingshan is the "back garden" of Taipei City, it is not too much to call Bai Tai Garden the "Peach Blossom Garden" of Taipei City.

Part of the collection

Chen Wantian, a Taiwanese pot collector, set the Guinness World record for the largest collection of rare potted trees with 1458 pots in Taipei. Chen Wantian says that he is more of a "dharma protector" than a collector who loves potted plants so much. Because he saw a pot of cherished art potted plants bought by foreign buyers many years ago, it was very sad that these precious tree species in Taiwan were shipped to other places, so he began to collect precious tree species potted plants, leaving these treasures with hundreds of years of life in his hometown.

According to reports, the total age of these rare tree species in pots is more than 145,800 years, with the youngest being 80 years old and the highest about 500 years old. Some of them are real potted plants, and some precious tree species collected from the wild, including cypress, yellow poplar, ivory tree and so on.

In the Baitai Garden, visually, real cypress potted plants from large products to small and medium-sized ones need to win numerous prizes in order to become a "guest of honor." after careful care, they are majestic, retain their original vigor, and reveal their moral artistic conception. It is very popular with scholars and scholars.
