His works have been collected by many museums in the nation as well as by the Museum of Chicago University, private collectors from Switzerland, Germany, United States, and Singapore; his works are also displayed in public worldwide.

After 1995, Zhan started a series of "Artificial Garden Rock" and "Floating Rock" creations. The ancients called the natural Taihu stones the "Artificial Garden Rock", but Zhan thinks that when using ancient stones to decorate modern contemporary environments, the stone itself is unreal, even he replicated rockery stones with stainless steels, but it fits and belongs to our modern living, it's the product of our era. Artificial Garden Rock that Zhan used stainless steels to create has elaborated the traditional Chinese culture, he wants to describe the industrial developments in the city through ice cold materials, it represents his knowledge to the materials he used to create. This concept also leads him to conduct many art experiments.
