Wann-Yiing
Art Center – Major exhibition area.
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.

in total.
