About

Located on the bustling historical Da Zha Lan Alley, this three-storey building with a Qing facade is home to the oldest and most famous pharmacy in China. Naturally they specialize in traditional Chinese medicine, but a small selection of Western products is also for sale. The shop has a distinctive musty aroma of herbal remedies, and behind each counter lurks a bewildering display of dried snakes and seahorses, contorted ginseng roots, deer antlers, peculiar mushrooms and fungi, plus the medicinal spirits selection, including bear gall and tiger bone wines.
