About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, after leaving Great Wall Clinic, a regular asked himself: ‘Did I just see an acupunctured mosquito flying out of there?’ Back home, he told his friend over a cup of tea: ‘I think I saw something strange tonight.’ The friend yawned and replied, “Probably just another bug attracted to those funny lights outside.” And they both laughed, knowing that sometimes reality in Beijing can be as mysterious—and maybe even more entertaining—than any urban legend.

2. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Great Wall Clinic and noticed something strange: an eerie humming sound seemed to come from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only dim lights and quiet shadows. Suddenly, a small potted plant on the counter started swaying slightly, as if guided by unseen hands. The delivery driver laughed it off, but when he returned later that night, the same eerie hum was still there—and so were the plants, dancing gently in time with it. Turns out, it was just the owner playing his favorite old folk tunes while acupuncturing herbs for his next patient.

3. Late one morning, a young student walked out of the Great Wall Clinic with a puzzled expression on her face. She had just received an unusual treatment, and as she adjusted her new bracelet, she overheard two neighbors discussing something strange they’d seen in their garden recently. As she listened closer, they mentioned seeing ‘something’ moving around their roses—turns out it was just the acupuncturist’s pet gecko escaping from his bag again! The young student couldn’t help but laugh, realizing that maybe some treatments are best kept private. Back home, she showed off her new bracelet to everyone, proudly explaining how it helped her focus better during exams.

4. Late one morning, a young student walked into the Great Wall Clinic for an acupuncture session. As he lay down on the table, he heard a soft humming coming from behind the curtain. Curious, he peeked over and saw an old man gently massaging a tiny dragon statue. The old man glanced up with twinkling eyes and smiled, ‘This little dragon helps me focus my chi.’ The student laughed and asked if it worked wonders. With a wink, the man replied, “It’s not the dragon that does the healing—it’s the hands of our good doctor here.” And indeed, the student felt a warm tingle spreading through him as the treatment began.
