Iowa State College landscape architecture professors Philip H. Elwood and Walter Popham took 4 students (Bethane Carpenter, John Hall, Max Bird, and Norman Morris) on a tour of Japan, China, the Philippine Islands, and Hawaii in 1929. This film covers highlights of the Hong Kong and Formosa (Taiwan) portions of that trip. Includes footage of a panorama of Hong Kong from the Peak Hotel, Repulse Bay Hotel and bathing beach with thatched bath houses, and views of Hong Kong from Kowloon. It is then on to Canton China, where the tour group sees the approach to Island Park, flowery Pagoda, overlook the Great Cemetery, see the Sun Yet Sen Monument under construction and ancient Chinese temples. Also in Canton they see a monument to the Republic of China with a replica of the Statue of Liberty, a memorial to 77 martyrs of the Chinese Republic, cultivating rice fields and planting rice by hand, a native village, and the foreign settlement across the canal from the city. Leaving Canton for Hong Kong they see Chinese junks on the Pearl River, the Hong Kong harbor, and while enroute to Formosa, (Taiwan ) the captain of the ship shows them his Chow puppies. It is then on to the southern coast of China near Amoy.
