Beijing launches international TCM medical tourism service

The Beijing municipal government is offering traditional Chinese medicine as part of the package for international tourists.

Fifteen hospitals in the city are listed to offer the packages, which cover 30 symptoms such as insomnia and headaches.

The municipal administration says the packages feature effective treatment and whole-process services at a reasonable cost.

Beijing is rich in TCM resources, with 14 top level TCM hospitals, as well as many time-honored clinics.

The program is part of the national plan to establish multiple TCM tourism demonstration areas.
