Recorrido fotográfico por la China de 1850 a 1900. La apertura de la lejana China, hacia la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, atrajo a comerciantes occidentales y fue reclamo para jóvenes emprendedores y aventureros. Entre ellos se encontraban fotografos europeos y norteamericanos, como: Milton M. Miller, John Thomson, William Saundres, Emil Rusfeldt que se asentaron en las principales ciudades costeras y plasmaron en sus fotografias, por primera vez en la historia, los paisajes, gentes y costumbres locales.
