Second-generation siblings from Taiwan manage exquisite bonsai that was their father's offering of love to Xiamen

A garden in Xiamen, Fujian province, is famous for its exquisite landscape bonsai, including many varieties that were introduced from Taiwan island, across the Strait.

The garden is managed by Chen Hsiu-yu and her younger brother Chen Tai-ming, two second-generation Taiwan entrepreneurs.

One can gauge its quality from the fact that the highest bid for one rare bonsai here exceeded $200,000.
