Hundreds of Oriental medicine stores on the streets of Lương Nhữ Học, Triệu Quang Phục and Hải Thượng Lãn Ông in Chợ Lớn (Chinatown) in HCM City’s District 5 provide Oriental medicine and herbal materials to traditional medicine clinics and consumers in the southern region.
Most domestic Oriental medicine and herbals are easily found at this Oriental medicine retail market. Many rare medicines and herbals are imported from China, Laos, Cambodia and South Korea.
As part of the city’s efforts to diversify tourism products, tours to these streets with more than 120 businesses and manufacturers of Oriental medicine as well as traditional medicine clinics will be launched this year.
The tours include renowned tourist attractions in Chợ Lớn such as Thiên Hậu Temple, Bình Tây Market and houses built in the early 19th century. — VNS
