Badaling Great Wall: Chinese Medicine Centre

    • Most tours to/from Badaling will include an "unscheduled stop" (as far as you're concerned) to a centre of Chinese Medicine.
    Part of the experience will be a free check up. DO NOT feel obliged to volunteer or accept their diagnosis. If a condition/illness is diagnosed you'll be written a prescription and almost immediately presented with a bill which can be quite costly. You will be made to feel as if you don't have any other option.

    At Least Do This: Quite simply, have a look around the centre but don't feel obliged to accept the invitation of a "free" check up.
