There was this tour near the Ming Tombs, where the tour leader will bring us to a so called 'Chinese Medicine Research Centre' and when u step in there will be pictures of famous Chinese Scientists/Physicians and 2 very old Physician will check your pulse and recommend you some traditional cures. These are fakes and they are expensive so DO NOT get cheated. If you want to get good real traditional Chinese Medicine it is best to get it in Chinese Medicine Hall in Hongkong or Taiwan

At Least Do This: Just listen to the introduction of Chinese medicine and the names of the herbs to cure these ailments and allow them to check your pulse and diagnose any ailments for free. After all Chinese herbs are really effective if they are original.
