In Xi’an, there lies a unique micro – world of miniature bonsai. Despite their small size, these bonsai are filled with the majestic charm of nature. The materials are often sourced from the Qinling Mountains, an ecological treasure trove of Xi’an, which provides a rich variety of plant resources for the bonsai.
Look, the miniature bonsai made from Qinling pines features vigorous branches and lush needles, demonstrating the tenacity of pines on high mountains within a tiny pot. There are also bonsai that combine local wild flowers and grasses with rocks. The moss is like a carpet, and the flowers dot among them, as if condensing the spring – time mountain forest of Qinling into the pot. Xi’an miniature bonsai represent a perfect integration of nature and art. Endowed with the aura of Xi’an’s mountains and waters, they bring a dual enjoyment of vision and mind.
