Qingyi Yuan is a Chinese Penjing garden in Suzhou style, located near Shanghai. The collection is absolutely stunning, with Japanese styled trees as well as Chinese styled (Penjing) trees - some of the best we have seen in the world.
The collection of over 8000 (!) trees is owned by Chinese business man and Penjing collector Chen Mingxing. Inside the garden over 300 trees are displayed, the other 8000 trees are kept in a nearby nursery - with 40 staff members taking care of the collection. These numbers are mind boggling and tells us China is working hard to make a come-back. The garden is not open to the public unfortunately...
Enjoy these images and the video we shot there!
