About Tonghua

Tonghua holds extraordinary significance as the "Hometown of Ginseng," representing one of China's three largest natural herb production bases and the "Hometown of Traditional Chinese Medicine." Situated in the lush Changbai Mountain valleys, Tonghua's ideal climate and geography have supported ginseng cultivation for centuries, making the city renowned for producing over one-quarter of China's ginseng supply. With a population of 1.8 million, Tonghua embodies the fusion of ancient healing traditions with modern pharmaceutical development.

The city's rich forestry resources have sustained multiple traditional industries including ginseng harvesting, marten fur production, and deer antler collection. In recent years, Tonghua has developed into a modern ginseng processing center with the Kuaida Ginseng Industrial Park hosting over 1,000 merchants and 600 e-commerce businesses processing thousands of packages daily, generating 7 billion yuan in annual transaction volume. Tonghua represents both ancient wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine and contemporary biotechnology innovation.
