orchids and medicinal herbs. Various examples of bonsai, as well as
bamboo and endangered plants are also featured in the gardens.
Non-botanical attractions at the gardens include the Science
Education and Information Centre, and Guangzhou's Oldest Village,
which was rebuilt on Neolithic ruins.
Information & Facts
Address
Language
The official language is Mandarin Chinese, but there are
hundreds of local dialects.
Money
The currency used in China is the Renminbi Yuan (CNY). The Yuan
is divided into 10 chiao/jiao or 100 fen. Make sure you exchange
your leftover Yuan before returning home because this currency can
be exchanged only within China's borders. Travellers cheques,
preferably in US Dollars, and foreign cash can be exchanged in
cities at the Bank of China. Banks are closed weekends. The larger
hotels and the special 'Friendship Stores' designed for foreigners
will accept most western currencies for purchases. Major credit
cards are accepted in the main cities at various establishments,
but outside the major cities acceptance is limited. ATMs are scarce
outside the main cities.
