In the crowded streets a funeral is encountered. The water sprinklers are shown at work. Passing through the South Gate the Forbidden City is entered. Not far from the Forbidden City is the Temple of Heaven where an old priest directs the party to the Altar of Heaven. Back in the streets a young barber is observed at his work The Summer palace comes next, followed by a visit to the Winter palace. En route to the Great Wall of China, woinen are met whose feet were bound when they were babies and Chinese children who are obviously afraid of cameras.
