Cultural Hall for Chinese Herbs Industry(立康中草藥產業文化館)

Within the Cultural Hall for the Chinese Herbs Industry (立康中草藥產業文化館) the development course of herbal medicine in Taiwan across hundreds of years is presented, with medical curios and hundreds of original medical ingredients on display. Whilst taking a look around, professional tour guides can help bring to life the exhibits with simple explanations of Chinese herbal medicine and the ways in which they were and are used in the lives of average Taiwanese citizens. As well as introducing major figures in the history of Chinese medicine, when entering the “time tunnel,” tourists are introduced to various kinds of pain relief patches that developed from the dog skin ointment people might recall from their childhood. The hall also features dog skin ointment in a semi-finished product stage, with an opportunity to see the machines used in manufacturing it.
