The History of Medicine in Shanghai: Encountering Outside the Hospital
Actual Traces of Traditional Medicine Museums and Modern Medical Architecture
The history of medicine in Shanghai can be explored without a medical visit, through museums and historical architecture. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Museum connects classical medicine, herbs, tools, and modern traditional medicine, while Baicao Garden showcases actual plants related to the exhibited herbs. The historical documents from the Shanghai University of Transportation Medical College and the Red Cross exhibit provide clues to understanding the institutionalization of modern medical education and humanitarian activities in the city.
We've gathered eight actual locations, including the old buildings related to Lunji, Guangci, and Gongji Hospitals, as well as the Red Cross General Hospital. Note that university museums may require reservations, and old hospitals overlap with current medical and working spaces rather than being tourist facilities. This list focuses on reading external signs and the roles of these buildings without expecting internal access, ensuring that patient and staff pathways are respected.

The sites related to medical history are not lists for treatment experiences or health information recommendations. In the museums, let's observe together the limitations posed by the instruments and systems of the time, and in the old hospital architecture, explore how charity, religion, education, and public health were interconnected within the city. It’s better to separate visits to the Traditional Chinese Medicine University campus and urban medical heritage into different days because they are somewhat distanced from each other.
Currently, patient care and privacy protection in hospitals take absolute priority. Avoid entering lobbies or wards for tourism purposes, and only check external signage and public information. University museums may not guarantee general access, so if there is no response to your reservation inquiry, consider switching to other plans. It is safer to read the historical context of the exhibits rather than interpreting historical treatments as current medical advice.
