On April 9, 2026, a delegation of nine people led by Valiyev Toyly, Head of the Contract Department of the Foreign Economic Relations Bureau of the Turkmenistan State Concern for Natural Gas, visited Baowen Garden for an inspection and exchange activity. This event was an important interaction in the field of bonsai cultural exchange and economic and trade cooperation between China and Turkmenistan, and a vivid opportunity for the world to focus on Chinese bonsai art.
During the inspection, Chen Chang, President of Bonsai Clubs International, warmly received the delegation throughout and introduced in detail the development history, core concepts, and the artistic essence of Lingnan bonsai at Baowen Garden. From the selection and cultivation of bonsai materials, styling techniques, to cultural connotations, President Chen Chang explained eloquently, vividly demonstrating the aesthetic pursuit of Chinese bonsai "originating from nature and surpassing nature" and the cultural heritage of "unity of man and nature." Valiyev Toyly and his delegation toured the garden, carefully observing various exquisite bonsai, and praised every Lingnan bonsai work with unique shapes and profound artistic conception. They frequently stopped to exchange views, take photos, and inquire in detail about bonsai maintenance techniques, creative concepts, and cultural inheritance, showing a strong interest in the superb skills and profound cultural connotations of Chinese bonsai art.
During the exchange and discussion session, Valiyev Toyly sincerely expressed his admiration for Chinese bonsai art. He said that bonsai is an art that organically combines nature and humanity, possessing both natural beauty and humanistic heritage, and is a charming cultural treasure shared by the world. He earnestly hoped that in the future, a grand bonsai and viewing stone exhibition and cultural exchange event could be held in Turkmenistan, allowing Chinese bonsai and viewing stone art to shine in Turkmenistan, further deepening the local people's understanding and love of bonsai art, stimulating the strong interest of the Turkmen people in this traditional and elegant art, and promoting deep cultural and artistic integration between China and Turkmenistan.
The visit of international friends to Baowen Garden is not only a high recognition of its achievements in the inheritance and innovation of Lingnan bonsai, but also a key bridge for Chinese bonsai culture to go abroad and deepen international cooperation. As an important base for the inheritance and promotion of Lingnan bonsai, Baowen Garden has always adhered to its cultural original intention, deeply cultivated the professional field, and committed to bringing Chinese bonsai art to a broader world stage. Over the years, Baowen Garden has taken the inheritance and promotion of excellent traditional Chinese culture as its mission, deeply explored the artistic value and cultural charm of Lingnan bonsai, gathered industry elites, deepened technical innovation, and built a high-end platform integrating bonsai display, technical exchange, and cultural promotion. With its strong professional strength and open cooperative attitude, Baowen Garden has become an important window for Chinese bonsai's external exchanges, having received tens of thousands of government officials, industry experts, cultural scholars, and friends from various circles from dozens of countries across five continents, establishing a distinct Chinese cultural brand image in the international bonsai field.
The visit of Valiyev Toyly and his delegation is not only another powerful demonstration of Baowen Garden's international influence, but also opens a new path for exchanges and cooperation between Chinese bonsai and relevant fields in Turkmenistan. In the future, Baowen Garden will continue to uphold an open and inclusive attitude, use bonsai as a medium, deepen international cultural exchanges and practical cooperation, continuously expand the international discourse power and influence of Chinese bonsai, and let this brilliant pearl of traditional Chinese culture shine more dazzlingly on the world stage.
