Following the museum visit, we will take you to the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine Museum, where you’ll have the chance to further your knowledge of TCM. The museum houses a wealth of herbal specimens, ancient medical books, and historical records that reveal the evolution of herbal medicine in China. You will have the opportunity to appreciate the vast range of medicinal plants, many of which have been used for centuries to treat various ailments. The museum offers detailed insights into the Four Diagnostic Methods of TCM—observation, listening, inquiry, and palpation. You’ll be able to experience first-hand how TCM practitioners use these methods to assess a patient's condition, all while learning the philosophy that underpins these ancient techniques. During your visit, you’ll also gain valuable knowledge of the meridian system, which is central to TCM's approach to healing. Your guide will explain how TCM diagnosis and treatment aim to restore the balance of Qi (energy flow) within the body, providing a holistic view of health that integrates the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of the individual.

Each dish is carefully crafted with herbs that support your health, boost your immune system, and rejuvenate your energy. While enjoying these flavorful and aromatic dishes, your guide will share insights into the health benefits of the ingredients used in Chinese medicinal food, explaining how these herbs and roots are chosen for their therapeutic properties.

Here, you’ll have the chance to experience therapeutic treatments such as Tui Na massage, acupuncture, or moxibustion, all administered by skilled practitioners. Your guide will help explain the significance and function of each treatment—whether it’s Tui Na’s targeted manual therapy to relieve pain and restore balance, acupuncture’s stimulation of energy meridians (Qi), or moxibustion’s warming method to boost circulation and immunity. The experience offers not only relaxation, but also a deeper appreciation of how ancient Chinese healing wisdom is still effectively applied today. With its blend of historical ambiance and professional service, your visit to Tong Ren Tang offers a true window into China’s medical heritage.
