The Cultural Heritage
Administration of Korea is hosting its second traditional Asian medicine event
at Seongjeonggak Pavilion in Changdeok Palace daily
from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., from
May 12 to 15. A family-oriented event was held earlier on May 8, but
this event aims to introduce traditional herbal medicines to international
residents and visitors.
During the event, visitors will have the
opportunity to try a variety of activities, including being diagnosed through
their pulse and consulting with Hanbok-clad Asian medicine specialists. Other
programs include learning how to wrap medicines, draw pictures from old medical
texts and drink herbal teas. Up to 40 people can participate on each day of the
event, and will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis.
The
event is open free of charge, and admission fees to the palace are 3,000 won for
adults, 1,500 won for students and free for children ages seven and under.
