Fodor's Review:
If you don't know your chi from your chin, and you're not sure if you need a dried seahorse or a live snake, head to the Eu Yan Sang Medical Hall. Glass cases at this reputable store display reindeer antlers, dried fungi, ginseng, and other medicinal mainstays; English-language cards explain some of the items' uses. Grave but helpful clerks behind hefty wooden counters will happily sell you purported cures for anything from the common cold to impotence (the cure for the latter is usually slices of reindeer antler boiled into tea). The Hong Kong Tourism Board runs free introductory classes on Chinese medicine here Wednesday at 2:30 PM. There are other smaller branches all over Hong Kong. From Sheung Wan MTR, walk left along Wing Lok Street, right into Wing Wo Street, then left onto Queen's Road Central.
