What Hu Qing Yu Tang is known for
Opened by the merchant Hu Xueyan in 1874, Hu Qing Yu Tang earned the title 'Pharmacy King of Jiangnan' for its scrupulously sourced pills, powders and herbal pastes. The Qing-era dispensary below Wushan Hill still compounds hundreds of traditional remedies and keeps a museum of Chinese medicine behind its carved timber hall.
