Hu Qing Yu Tang Traditional Chinese Medicine Museum

The Hu Qing Yu Tang Traditional Chinese Medicine Museum is the only state-level professional Chinese medicine museum in the country. It is situated at the foot of Wu Hill in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. The museum is housed in the restored ancient structure - Hu Qing Yu Tang.

Hu Qing Yu Tang is a Chinese pharmacy that has been in business since 1874. It gained great fame during its development. People regarded it as the "King of Medicine" in southern China. Hu Xueyan, the first owner of the pharmacy, was not only a successful businessman but also a high-class official at the imperial court. In China's feudal society, businessmen were widely despised, while state officials were held in high esteem. At the museum, visitors can not only enjoy the treasures of traditional Chinese medicine but also view its magnificent architecture and learn more about Hu's legendary story.
