Тур знайомить із трьома релігійно-філософськими традиціями Китаю — конфуціанством, даосизмом та буддизмом. Ми розглянемо сувої із зображеннями безсмертних божеств та сценами міських свят, поговоримо про енциклопедію, створену китайським імператором, а також побачимо витончені пляшечки для нюхального тютюну і розкішне жовте шовкове імператорське вбрання із зображенням дракона. Ці артефакти дають можливість простежити, як у китайській культурі поєднувалися уявлення про безсмертя, гармонію, красу та імператорську владу.
