There are few others but they were shot shortly after the collapse of the Qing Dynasty.

it was a International Concession at Shanghai. Look at the Indian/ Raj Soldiers there at 1:03

Yeah it is

Ikr

She looks like a foreigner, not Chinese. And those soldiers look like they are maybe Indian.

You underestimate the old Shanghai parliament...there is no casta system. After 1870, due to too many traffic accidents, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau stipulated that load of vehicles north of the Huangpu River should not exceed 600 pounds at a time, thus restricting dirty and unsafe transportation such as horse-drawn carriages to outside the urban area, leaving only rickshaws and bicycles.

And their masters, the british

china proper are lack of horses

no， just commercial zone of beijing

Raising horses requires vast land resources, although China have a vast land area of ​​9.6 million square kilometers, only 10 percent can be used for living, farming and animal husbandry. The remaining 90 percent are mountains, rivers and lakes.

Lacking horses, China has been under constant attack from the north since more than 2,000 years ago by nomads who blitzkrieg with cavalry. China built the Great Wall to keep out the cavalry from the north. Horses were also the main goods that the ancient northern nomads exported to China during peacetime.

My great grandfather Inder Singh was there in China around that time - 51st Sikhs - Frontier Force
