TCM Health Culture Garden in Ditan Park is the first park in China themed on TCM health culture. Located in Ditan Park, it covers an area of 2.5 hectares. The Temple of Earth (Ditan Park) is not a stranger to us. It is the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties worshiped the "royal gods" and is the largest existing altar for earth worship in China. The TCM Health Culture Garden is located within the park, with the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys as the main zones. With the five elements, five colors and five directions, and the water and land systems as the meridians, the whole park is connected into a complete "life body".

There are more than 3,000 trees of various types and nearly 100 kinds of herbs and medicinal plants in the garden. On the walls of the promenade, there are displays of appropriate techniques for Chinese medicine health care, including cupping, moxibustion, medical pillows, medical baths and so on. It conveys the health care techniques of TCM in common words.

The fitness trail in the park is designed according to the principle of foot massage in TCM. The trail is paved with small raised oval stones. In summer, you can walk on the path barefoot to massage the acupuncture points and reflex zones of the feet, which can regulate the internal organs and strengthen the body.

Inside the park, the Beijing TCM Health Culture Experience Hall No. 1 is a self-help experience hall that integrates cultural science, interactive experience and Chinese and Western medicine health testing. It brings you to experience the greatness of the wisdom of TCM for thousands of years, and to understand the basic concepts of TCM and health care knowledge. It will also create a personalized healthy lifestyle for you, so that the wisdom of Chinese medicine can really return to the daily life of the people. With the help of the ancient charm of the Ditan Royal Garden, the Health Culture Park focuses on the essence of TCM health care. Here, you can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also learn the special TCM culture.
