Community and Collaboration
President Chen Chang’s Baowen Bonsai Garden
provided an unforgettable experience. Guests were
invited to the grand opening of this remarkable garden,
home to over 5,000 exemplary bonsai and penjing.
The welcoming banner, signed by attendees, became
a symbol of global unity and shared passion for these
art forms.
The convention also fostered international collabora-
tion, with President Chen signing friendship agreements
with bonsai schools and museums in Germany and
Australia. These partnerships underscored the global
reach and enduring bonds within the bonsai and viewing
stone communities.
