Description
Tianjin is one of the 4 municipalities under the direct control of the national government of People's Republic of China. It is the third largest city in China after Beijing and Shanghai. We will take the vehicle from Beijing to Tianjin, and enjoy this beautiful city.
The culture in Tianjin comes from an extraordinary period in the history when eight foreign countries opened concessions in the Wudadao streets. Known as "five major streets", there are more than 230 Western-style villas and over 50 former residences of renowned foreign figures, built by European countries between 1920s and 1930s. It is recognized as an International Architecture Exposition. These exotic buildings differ from one another, and include French, British, Italian, Spanish, and German architectures. The low buildings and tree-shaded courtyards form a quiet and comfortable environment.
Haihe River is regarded as the Mother River of Tianjin. It is a great contributor to the improvement of Tianjin, and is tied closely to the lives of Tianjin people living there for generations. People visiting the Haihe River today appreciate its scenic beauty as well as its historical and cultural atmosphere. Regions along the river present beautiful views starting from Sanchakou to Daguangming Bridge. Countless attractions along the banks make the river a popular holiday destination.
Tianjin Eye is a 120-meter tall Ferris wheel over the Haihe River. It was opened in 2008 and it is the only bridge with a giant wheel for visitors, offering spectacular views of the city. The huge wheel is made up of 48 capsules, each capsule capable of accommodating 8 passengers. It takes over 30 minutes to finish a full cycle and it has a maximum capacity of 768 passengers per hour.
Jinshi Bazaar and Nanshi Snack Food Market are also a must-visit for a tour in Tianjin. Both of them have shopping places, where you can enjoy the people's daily life and local culture. Of course, your stomach will also be highly appreciative of the delicious local snack food.
