Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has become increasingly popular among international travelers, offering them a unique way to experience Chinese culture through displays and immersive wellness activities.
At the Shanghai Pudong International Airport, many foreign travelers have been seen joining Baduanjin exercises under the guidance of airport staff.
The activity is part of the airport's efforts to improve services for international travelers. They have also set up an exhibition of Shanghai-style TCM culture, a TCM service area, a body constitution identification area, and an interactive sachet making area.
"I think it smells really good. So I think it's a really cool thing," said Leon, a German traveler.
In north China's Tianjin Municipality, the Museum of Traditional Chinese Medicine has attracted an increasing number of foreign visitors with its rich collection of more than 600 old books and specimens, which record the changes in China's TCM industry for over a century.
"It's a lot of information. I think it's wonderful to see such a big pharmaceutical building, a lot of formulas, a lot of history, a lot of products. It's very overwhelming," said Luis, a foreign visitor.
The museum also features an experience area, where interactive activities such as herb processing and incense making have been particularly popular among foreign tourists.
"I fell in love with traditional Chinese medicine when I was about 16 or 17. I used to do Wushu, and I got injured. And I started getting treated with acupuncture and tuina. And from then on, I became curious, and I started using it," said Rui Goncalves, another foreign visitor.
