Hangzhou: Traditional Chinese Medicine Craft Workshop Package A: Traditional Sachet Pounding

Explore Hangzhou's traditional wellness wisdom on a guided tour: visit the century-old Hu Qing Yu Tang, tour the Chinese Medicine Museum, and try traditional crafts by hand.
Don't miss Hu Qing Yu Tang when you come to Hangzhou. It is a very famous century-old pharmacy in China with over a hundred years of history. First, visit the museum and hear the stories of traditional Chinese wellness and Hu Qing Yu Tang. Then, under the guidance of a cultural instructor, make a traditional craft by hand.

There are five kinds of crafts in five packages. Choose one: a fragrant sachet (pounding version), a sewn fragrant sachet, a herbal-themed hammer, a fragrant tablet, or fragrant beads.

Fragrant sachet (pounding version): Identify fragrant materials, weigh them, and pound them with a copper mortar and pestle, then put them into a sachet to make a wearable fragrant sachet.

Sewn fragrant sachet: Listen as the instructor tells the story of sachets, learn to identify fragrant materials, and sew a zongzi-shaped sachet with needle and thread—special to wear yourself or give as a gift.

Herbal-themed hammer: Learn about seasonal wellness and simple health methods, wrap fragrant materials in cotton-linen fabric, and make a herbal-themed hammer. On site, learn "patting the eight voids" and "tapping the gallbladder meridian."

Fragrant tablet: Under the instructor's guidance, choose a fragrance formula based on your preference, make fragrance powder, knead it, put it into a mold, and let it dry. Make a fragrant tablet you can hang up or use as a bookmark.

Fragrant beads: Listen as the instructor tells the story of fragrant beads and "five-element fragrance blending," string the beads and tie a knot yourself, and take home a fragrant bead bracelet right away.

No experience is needed, and a cultural instructor teaches you on site. Take your work home—it also makes a great gift. Come to Hu Qing Yu Tang, learn about traditional fragrant materials, pick up a little wellness wisdom, and take home a handmade souvenir.
