What to expect
Step inside a restored traditional Chinese apothecary in the heart of Chongqing and discover one of China's oldest living cultures with your own hands. Guided entirely in English, this hands-on experience lets you weigh medicinal herbs on a traditional brass scale, grind fragrant botanicals into a sachet you take home, learn the culture behind pulse reading, and unwind with calming rituals such as moxibustion and Tui Na massage. It's not a show — it's a chance to step behind the counter and take part. Choose from four experiences, from a 45-minute first taste to a premium half-day with full Hanfu styling and a personal photo session.
