Unfortunately, Beijing is rather boring as far as cps are concerned. The
(known) interesting Chinese elements are either from the Himalayas, from
their E border, or from subtropical Guangxi, all rather far away from
Beijing:
_Drosera oblanceolata_ (ENDEMIC, Guangxi)
_Utricularia forrestii_ (ENDEMIC, Yunnan, NW Tengyneh)
_U.muticaulis_ (SUBENDEMIC, Tibet/Xizang)
_U.peranomala_ (ENDEMIC, Guangxi)
_U.salwinensis_ ((?SUB)ENDEMIC, Yunnan)
_U.warburgii_ (ENDEMIC, Zhejiang)

All species you mentioned are very widespread in SE Asia and in
cultivation. These do not merit a trip to China.
