Currently, there are already 24 medical institutions in Lecheng. These hospitals and institutions feature the world's most advanced medical equipment and mysterious "Oriental power." Of these, the Boao Yiling Life Care Center—which focuses on "combining medical care with medical tourism”—has attracted many patients from all over the world.

Step foot onto the grounds at Yiling Life Care Center and the charming ancient style of the buildings will help eliminate the tension and anxiety many people have when faced with the cold scene of a traditional hospital. The enticing scent of traditional herbal medicines is something that intrigues many patients. Many kinds of traditional diagnoses and treatments (including herbs, massage, steam baths, and aromatherapy) relax the patient physically and mentally. At the same time, the facility offers a variety of China’s ethnomedicines such as the Traditional Mongolian medicine and Traditional Li medicine. This way, patients can experience the crystallized wisdom of all sorts of people.
