Part one of a video that appears to show a group of American tourists visiting various sites in China. Video is timestamped "21, 3, 2000".

Text on spine of VHS Tape Box: "Welcome to Bejing 1"
Text on front cover of VHS Tape Box: "只京行"
Text on back cover of VHS Tape Box: "中國井旅"

Archivists' Note: Typically I try to avoid digitizing and uploading home video footage but since no one appears to be talking and the video is over 20 years old I think its fine. I'm assuming that this tape was the product of a Chinese tourism company, wherein you'd pay the company for a guided tour over a few days and they would shoot video of it and present you with the video before you left. That would explain the high quality plastic VHS shell containers that this vhs tape was housed in, as well as the higher than average production quality and editing of the video.
