LEE Chung Sing Tong Ancestral Shop

LEE Chung Sing Tong Ancestral Shop is a protected cultural heritage site of Foshan City.

LEE Chung Sing Tong Ancestral Shop, located in Lingnan Tiandi, is the birthplace of the world-renowned "Bao Ji Wan" (Relieve-it-all Pills). The creator of "Bao Ji Wan" was Li Zhaoji, who initially sold herbal tea. Legend has it that he obtained a secret recipe, turning the medicinal tea into pills and naming them "Bao Ji Wan." It proved highly effective for colds, indigestion, stomachache, and gastrointestinal discomfort, earning widespread acclaim. To expand his business, Li Zhaoji built this "LEE Chung Sing Tong" on the ancestral temple street, and the reputation of Bao Ji Wan grew steadily, becoming widely known across Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asia.

LEE Chung Sing Tong Ancestral Shop was built in the early years of the Republic of China. It is a two-story building, with the ground floor of the front section serving as a shop and the upper floor as the residence of the Li family. The back has a garden and a workshop. The front shop area is quite spacious, and the ceiling features uniquely designed skylights to provide ample lighting.
