This is pre 1911, not 1920-29. There are no bicycles, not a single car, and all the men wear queues. Film clips from the 1920 show a very different urban China.

[@rickey0925]

pigtails are symbol of ching-dynasty

[@mobile2]

The time should be in Qing dynasty in or before 1911 because male hairstyle had queue. China is in East Asia/North East Asia, not SE Asia. People at 1:41 looked like Japanese.

[@xiongnu6373]

1:41 those are japanese. Maybe they came to china.

@@xiongnu6373 Foreigners were not welcome to settle and build neighborhoods in the style of their home country in Qing dynasty China except in treaty concessions. It is far more likely that the footage is from Japan.

[@colindong7316]

James, didn't the Japanese put in the ex emperor in Manchuria? He was installed as a puppet emperor. So back then Manchuria had tons of Japanese

[@slavish_superiority]

@@colindong7316 There are also many old Manchurian footages, they are not fully Japaneseized. Every detail of this video shows that this is native Japan

[@fan_zeng]

precious

[@slavish_superiority]

This is clearly Beijing from 1900-1912, not the 1920/1929, all people wore queues，craft technology bureau （工艺局），built in 1900，It was abolished in 1912....1:41-2:00 was native Japan, not China
