The aroma of medicine remains: the fusion of time at the former site of the Chinese and Western pharmacies

#MacauAttractions As you step into the former site of the Chinese and Western Pharmacy, a unique medicinal fragrance seems to float from the depths of time, gently touching your heart. The quaint wooden doors and walls whisper traces of a century of time, leading me into a space that bridges the wisdom of Chinese and Western medicine. The house is simply furnished, with some mottled paint marks still remaining on the wooden medicine cabinet. Each drawer seems to contain countless prescriptions for healing the body and mind. The old photos on the wall record the busy scene of the pharmacy in those days, an era when people exchanged health with trust and hope. The herbal flavor of traditional Chinese medicine and the modern rationality of Western medicine meet here, condensing into a unique cultural charm. Walking through it, I seemed to see the busy figures of pharmacists and hear the crisp echoes of the tapping of mortars. Everything has long been frozen into a historical silhouette, but the old site of the pharmacy speaks of the healing and care that transcends cultures in silence. When I left, the sunlight shone on the old walls, and between the light and shadow, a sense of awe and emotion flowed with the wind.
