藥櫃滿牆A wall of drawers

Step inside and the room is lined floor-to-ceiling with small wooden drawers — each one a labelled cabinet of dried herbs measured out by hand. Alongside the cabinets you'll find ginseng, packaged dried goods, and shelves of tea. What follows is simply what sits on the shelves; the shop owner is the authority on anything you bring home.
