We were fortunate to be invited to view a person's private collection of Chinese art, including statues, silk hangings, calligraphy, portraits and many more. This collection was on three floors with lots of security. Since Taiwan is in an earthquake-prone region, many of the pieces of art were secured to the walls and floors, like the statues in the picture above.
My favorite piece of art - this enormous jade boat. The detail on this jade boat was unbelievably intricate and I could have studied it for days. We saw art that ranged from the microscopic to the large - Chinese art is amazing in its diversity and perfection.
The picture doesn't do justice to the size of this piece - it was big and impressive.
