Beijing Boom

S01 E06 • Saturday, Feb 14, 2009 • Feb 14

Peter and Jeff visit the capital of Beijing, where they seek to compare the old and new traditions in this rapidly changing nation. They join a punk band, play Ping-Pong with a member of the Communist Youth League and compare a traditional hutong neighborhood to a modern skyscraper under construction. Then it is off to Inner Mongolia, where the people's way of life has gone relatively unchanged for centuries.
