Tong Han Chun Traditional Medicine Store

Shanghai Old City


An intriguing emporium of elixirs, infusions and remedies, this place has been selling Chinese medicinal cures since 1783. There’s a vast range here, including modern medications, but it’s all labelled in Chinese and little English is spoken, so take along an interpreter. On the 3rd floor, traditional Chinese medicine doctors offer consultations; you’ll need an appointment.
