'Anguo' (), nicknamed "Medicine Capital" (藥都), is a
county-level city in the regional city of
Baoding, central
Hebei Province,
China, south of
Beijing.
It has a provincially protected Temple of the God of Medicine (藥王廟) established around
100.
In premodern China, Anguo was 'Qizhou' (祁州: Qízhōu). In 1991, Anguo was changed from county into a city. The city governs 20 town-level entities in 486 km², of which the centrally placed Yaocheng (药城: Yàochéng) is the municipal seat. The Chinese playwright
Guan Hanqing was born here.
