Ginseng's a way of life in this unique location

Ginseng is often regarded as the king of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs and, the ginseng of Jilin province, in northeastern China, is thought by some to be the king of kings, one of the finest species of the region.

And, the town of Wanlian gives an entirely different look to this traditional remedy.

While most people probably only know ginseng, if they know it at all, from those gift boxes it may be packed in or the slices occasionally served with meals.
