"When seasoned world-travellers get together one place is most often mentioned: Peking. Merely say this one word. Eyes brighten, tongues fly faster, colourful memories are stirred. Why? Each person will give a different answer." (Introduction). Includes chapters on Modern Peking, Shopping, and the Street Scene. Hartung was a German-owned commercial photographic studio close to the Legation quarter.
