Yulin, a city in southern China, is making strides in developing its local big health industry through the promotion of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The 14th China (Yulin) Traditional Chinese Medicine Expo, held in the city known as the 'TCM capital in southern China,' kicked off on June 10. This year's expo coincided with the Dragon Boat Festival, showcasing the vibrant TCM culture and unveiling 12 new investment programs in medical equipment, food processing, cultural tourism, and TCM plantations.
