Photoshopped? Nope, a guard came out and started taking down the banner so I got the picture below. I waited awhile, but he didn't go for the second banner.

The 300-year-old Tongrentang Drug Store 同仁堂药店 (Tóngréntáng Yàodiàn) on Dashila/Dazhalan is one of the most famous traditional Chinese medicine stores. It has been in operation since 1669. Snakes to snails and everything in between can be bought here.
