Tong Ren Tang
Dongcheng, Beijing
China's most famous pharmacy - a 350-year-old TCM institution offering consultations, massage, and remedies.
Tong Ren Tang has practiced traditional Chinese medicine since 1669, and its flagship in Dashilan is part museum, part clinic, part apothecary: glass jars of ginseng and deer antler, doctors who read your pulse, and tuina massage rooms upstairs.
Foreign visitors are common and welcome. A consultation plus a tuina session is the complete TCM experience - book the massage ahead on weekends.
Best for: Three and a half centuries of TCM, in one storefront.
