Southern China Botanical Garden, Guangdong, China

Good Garden Visit
The gardens had a great variety of plants and there were many different areas. The gate is closest to the Botanical Garden station (not changban) and it is quite crowded near the gate area. The further you go in the less people there are. We enjoyed the quietness of the bamboo area. The ticket cost is 20 RMB for just the gardens and 50 for gardens + greenhouse area. The extra cost for the greenhouses are easily justified. Expect to spend 2 hours walking through all the garden areas and about an hour in the greenhouse. We would recommend bringing a bottle of water and a light snack as the only options we saw were due to a CNY festival. Many signs are in English and well translated. Very clear path markers on the main paths and the gardens are very easy to navigate.

Lush green botanical garden
In early May, the garden was mostly dark, lush green. Less than 5% of the trees and plants were in bloom. Of the various sections of the garden, I most enjoyed the Tropical rainforest Conservatory, the Desert Plant Conservatory, and watching the Koi fish scramble for food as they were being fed by sightseers and their children. Also nice was the relaxing walk through the gardens.

Good for family outings
Mostly local families were in the park/garden during our walk through. There is a play area, where many families had gathered. From a botanical gardens standpoint, it might be a little better than average, but not outstanding.
