Western visitors to this market find themselves in a completely unfamiliar world. The 10,000m2 space overflows with dried herbs, roots, flowers and animals. There are buyers for hospitals and pharmaceutical companies, wholesale buyers and individual customers. The market is fascinating both because of the products for sale and its atmosphere. Some 30% of Chinese rely on these medicines, virtually unknown to Westerners.
