I bet those rickshaw puller’s are fit! Excellent film, all the people seem unsure about the camera and don’t seem to know what to make of it.

About one-half of the people seen in this film lived in Peking through the Boxer Rebellion. I want to speak to them about what they had seen...

I don't think it is Beijing. Looks more like Shanghai in my opinion.

Awesome footage. Apart from the human-powered rickshaws I must say it looks very modern for the time, ie western cut clothes, impressive city buildings and roads. I guess the war and then the Cultural Revolution between them knocked progress back a decade or 2. It definitely bears rewatching. I think someone in a rickshaw at 1.25 is late for the office or something.

This is SHANGHAI, not Beijing. You can find footage of 1930s Beijing on YouTube -- with not a car in sight! Everyone is on foot or horse-drawn wagon. Shanghai and Beijing were like two different planets 100 years ago!

One thing missing cans of Chun King Chow Mein!

TIME IS RUNNING ETERNITY IS WAITING ...

It seems that Beijing used left-hand traffic in the 30s, just like the International Concession in Shanghai and Japanese-occupied Manchuria, why doesn’t China longer drive on the left?

Que interesante
No se imaginaban que se les venia la guerra civil y la invasión japonesa.

It looks very "western" to me, are you sure its not Shanghai?
