Wann-Yiing Art Garden is located at No. 68, Sec. 4, Jhongshan Rd., Sijhou Township, Chang Hua County, right at Taiwan Provincial Freeway #1, neighboring Wann-yiing Art Center. Wann-Yiing Art Center was founded in 1992. Eleven years later, that is to say, in the year of 2003, the Art Garden was built. In 2004, the Art Garden was open to the public and ‘The Second Tree-and-Stone Festival-An Art Exhibition’ was held there. It finally has been expanding up to 5.19 hectares (51900 square meters). The owner of Wann-yiing Art Center, Mr. Chen, Tsang-Hsing, is also the President of the Foundation of the Conservation of Tree Species originated from Taiwan, Honorable Chairman of Chan Hua  Tree-and-Stone Art Association, Now he is the Chairman of Nation Bonsai Association of the R.O.C.( TAIWAN) &  Chairman of 10th Asia-Pacific Bonsai & Suiseki Convention and Exhibition. Bearing in mind that he was born and grown up in Taiwan, he fulfills the aesthetics of life to commit himself to develop enthusiastically the potted landscape and the oriental arts. And he devotes himself to the protection of tree species originated from Taiwan as well as the environmental conservation. Mr. Chen hopes that people from every corner of the world will know there is a beautiful place at Sijhou Township of Chang Hua County. Wann-Yiing Art Center and Garden are the places to provide people dropping by to take a rest, having a good memory and getting relaxed to slow down the speedy life.

Getting rid of the conventional image of the botanical garden, Wann-Jiing Art center takes use of Landscaping art and oriental architecture to interweave the tree species originated from Taiwan and the environmental conservation, together with a transparent pond that is flowing poetically. There are valuable and rare stones piled hills, elegant classical pavilions, arch bridges and corridors by the water, among which ‘Tzu Tan Ko’, a newly built facility to be open soon, is magnificent and spectacular. The trees in the garden are: century old Juniperus chinensis that is as monumental as a flying dragon, Diospyros ferrea, Diospyros discolor Willd, Diospyros vaccinioides, Podocarpaceae of Lanyu, Cycas taitungensis, Palaquium formosanum Hay,Heritiera littoralis, Orange Jessamine, Osmanthus fragrans Lour, etc. These are valuable trees originally from Taiwan. The garden also accommodates valuable trees such as: century old banyan, Bisxhofia javanica, Melaleuca leucadendron L.,  Celtis formosana Hayata, , Taxodium distichum. Being here, looking from all angles, you will perceive that the garden as a whole is an oriental conceptual painting of the nature itself. ‘Tzu Tan Ko’ and another two exhibition halls are for displaying top paintings, calligraphy works, carving/sculptural works, ancient imitation furniture, antique gems and jades, and other art works. In the night time, the garden is reflected by colorful lights. The beauty of the tree and the water is different form it in the day time.

There is one thing worthwhile to mention. The most important architectural construction is ‘Tzu Tan Ko’ that will be open to the public in 2009. It occupies 676 square meters. The ground is 4 meters in depth, the height 13.91, and the height of the eave 5 meters. The materials for the truss bridge and the pillar which are the main structure are Hinoki and cedar ,composed by dado-and-tenon joint method mixed with RC steel construction. The diameter of the supporting pillars is 75~90 cm., made of originally unprocessed woods.  The whole building costs original woods 202000 M3 (560 cubic meters). The building is imitated after Tang-dynasty style in which displays Director Chen’s twenty-year collection of top notched carving art works of rosewood.  ‘Tzu Tan Ko’ will be the most beautiful guide pole of Chang Hua County when once it is fully embellished.
