Editor's note: China Daily reporter Xu Lin was invited on an arranged tour of a bear farm operated by Guizhentang Pharmaceuticals last September to observe the process of extracting bear bile.
HUI'AN, Fujian - Dozens of bears rambled in a walled playground while some climbed a steel construction. When a staff member clapped his hands, hungry bears got close to him in expectation.
Such was the scene at a bear farm in Hui'an county, Fujian province, affiliated with Guizhentang Pharmaceuticals. The farm was established in 1993.
