Step into the Yaowang Cave (Medicine King Cave) where ancient Chinese medicine comes alive! This 1,300-year-old grotto honors Sun Simiao, the legendary "King of Medicine," with herbal prescriptions carved into stone walls. Don't miss the naturally formed gourd-shaped stalactite—locals believe touching it brings good health. Chat with traditional physicians at the pulse-diagnosis stalls, then grab some poria mushroom crackers as souvenirs. Pro tip: Visit during the temple fair to see herbalists demonstrating antique grinding techniques!
