Beijing Botanical Garden travel info for your China vacations
This article is about the China vacations and you can find some useful information in it if you are planning your China vacations now.
Beijing Botanical Garden is a very good choice for your China vacations.
Office hours: 7:00 – 17:00 (Outdoor Gardens), 8:30 – 16:30 (Wofosi temple), 8:30 – 16:30 (Cao’s Memorial), 8:30 – 16:30 (Conservatory).
Ticket price: 5 rmb for the entrance of the Beijing Botanical Garden (you can get 50% off if you can show them your student ID), 5 rmb for Wofosi temple, 10 rmb for the Cao’s Memorial, 50 rmb for the Conservatory (50% off for the student), 5 rmb for the battery bicycle.
To get here:
(1). You can take the city bus (Line 331, 634, 696, Yuntong 112 ) to the bus station named “Wofosi Temple” or “Beijing Zhiwuyuan”. Line 360, 318, 714, 698 city bus to the bus station named “Zhiwuyuan”.
(2). Take the Line 1 subway to the “Pingguoyuan” station, then transfer to the Line 318 city bus. (info for your China vacations and travel)
(3). Take the Line 2 subway to the “Xizhimen” station, then transfer to the Line 634 city bus (from the D exit of the subway).
(4). From the Beijing West Railway Station: Take the Line 374 or 437 city bus to the “Gongzhufen” station, then transfer to the Line 698 city bus.
Some tips for you:
(1). If you are planning to visit the Beijing Botanical Garden in the morning, you’d better leave your home in the early morning no matter you drive your car or take the bus. You will probably meet the traffic jam if you leave your home at 9 am or 10 am.
(2). To visit the Beijing Botanical Garden at 3 pm or 4 pm is not a bad choice. The garden is still very beautiful at this time and it will not be very crowded like the morning. The traffic of Beijing is also in a better condition during this period of time.(info for your China vacations and tours)
(3). The Beijing Botanical Garden is very big but there are no good restaurants in it. You can bring your own food here if you want. (like chocolate, cookie, etc)
(4). In my point of view, the most attractive places of this botanical garden is: China rose garden, music fountain, Cherry Valley. The Tropical Conservatory is very beautiful too, but you will need to pay an extra 50 rmb for it.
About the Tropical Conservatory in the Beijing Botanical Garden:
The Tropical Conservatory was located in the center of Beijing Botanical Garden. It started on March 28, 1998 and was open to public on January 1, 2000. It was ranked as one of the Ten Buildings of Beijing in the 1990s, and with an area of 9,800 square meters, it stands as the largest exhibition conservatory in Asia.(info for your China vacations and China trip) It also boasts the country’s advanced facilities. The conservatory is divided into four display areas, including the tropical rainforest area, the cacti and succulents area, the orchids, bromeliads & carnivorous plant garden and the four-season garden. Totally more than 3100 taxa of tropical and subtropical plants grow in these areas, which makes the conservatory an important site for people to know more about plant science and nature, and for scientists and researchers to conserve plant resources and conduct research.

Choosing Grow Lights for Hydroponics Gardening – Grow lights Types
Plants use light to convert it into energy during the process, called photosynthesis. Growth of the plant is directly dependant on the amount of light received. By the way, the amount and type of light depend on the particular plant and its stage of development. So, a good grow lamp is the one, which is chosen in accordance with the light requirements of the particular plant.
Light is essential for health of your indoor plants, but choosing a proper grow light may be challenging and always requires thorough considerations. Grow light fluorescent offers the benefits of high effectiveness, no heat generation and full spectrum of light. For comparison, incandescent bulbs also produce a lot of light, but at the same time they generate a lot of heat, which is not always beneficial for indoor plants.
Each stage of plant development requires a particular light. When the plant is in its growing stage during which stem, branches and leaves develop, it is the best timing to use metal halide lamps for they produce blue spectrum light. However, when plant forms flowers and fruits, it is better to use high-pressure sodium or HPS lamps, which provide red light spectrum.
The only downside of MH and LPS lights is the heat generated by them. Heat is not good for plants and soil. To prevent overheating, special cooling fans may be required.
diodes or LEDs, introduced in early 1920s, have debuted in hydroponic gardening as grow lights only recently. In comparison to metal vapor lights, LED lights offer a lot of benefits with the initial cost being their only disadvantage. However, these grow lights are more cost-effective in the long run, having the average life time of about 100 000 hours vs. 15 000 hours of other lights. Besides, LED lights consume less energy, providing energy saving up to 80% in comparison to fluorescents and metal vapor lamps. Furthermore, LED lights do not generate heat, and, therefore, they need no additional cooling and ventilation.
In order to increase plant growth and productivity it may be necessary to use certain additional accessories, such as reflectors, which help to increase light intensity and make it more balanced, eliminating any “hot spots”.
Another key component of the grow light system is ballast, which provides energy. While fluorescent light fixtures have built-in ballasts, the other types of grow lights, namely metal vapor and LED lights require remote or external ballasts. Digital ballasts are important components, so it’s better not to save money on them. It is recommended to choose domestically produced digital ballasts instead of old magnetic coil types or those imported from China. In addition to being more reliable, expensive digital ballasts are equipped with additional features, such as short circuit or defective bulb detection.
Hydroponic gardening belongs to the most common techniques to grow plants and flowers with no land required. While building hydroponic system, sooner or later one faces the necessity to invest in high quality grow lights. A lot of people give their preferences to HID (high intensity discharge) lights equipped with digital ballast. These types of lamps provide the most natural light similar to sunlight, which is especially important for successful indoor plants growing. However, there are certain differences between HID lamps worthy to know.
In general, five types of HID lights exist. They are mercury vapor, xenon short-arc lamps, metal halide, low-pressure sodium and high-pressure sodium lights. Among these metal halide and high-pressure sodium lights are the most preferred types.
