Think you're in a trendy cafe, a tech park, or a scenic spot? Think again!

Indonesian student Fiona Konelia visited Hongjitang's traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) culture and industry park in Jinan. Founded in 1907, the time-honored TCM brand brings traditional wellness into modern life with ejiao (donkey-hide gelatin) coffee and ice cream, AI-powered health consultations, and herbal wellness drinks.

At the Hongjitang Museum, Fiona explored ejiao's history and discovered the heritage behind this traditional remedy. Who knew TCM could be this cool?
