In this episode, Peter and Jeff Hutchens visit the capital of Beijing. They will seek to compare the old and new traditions in this rapidly changing nation. Peter and Jeff join a punk band and then play Ping-Pong with a member of the Communist Youth League. They will 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 and the brothers will compete in the age-old sports of wrestling and archery. Back in Beijing, Pete and Jeff will party with the "new rich" and practice with traditional Chinese acrobats.
