A great start to visit Tianjin is the Italian street. Also called Wudadao, this place is one of the most popular in the region. On a stroll down the Italian street, travelers can find European colonial-style buildings, antique and souvenir shops, cafes, and restaurants. A detour to the Porcelain Museum is worth it for those looking for historical and artistic discovery. Those who want to dig deeper into Tianjin's history, culture and architecture should consider stopping at the old British concession. Again, magnificent buildings, including the former Governor's residence and Anglican churches, can be admired.
Tianjin Museum is another building to explore. Its collection includes artifacts from several Chinese dynasties, ancient ceramics, sculptures, traditional Chinese paintings, calligraphy and traditional costumes. The museum also has various thematic exhibition rooms to satisfy everyone.
The Tianjin Radio and TV Tower may interest many in a different register. In the Hexi district, travelers will find this tower more than 400 meters high. The observatory, located at a height of 253 meters, was specially built to allow visitors to contemplate the incredible view. Also, revolving restaurants, souvenir shops, and exhibits on the history of radio and television are available to make this trip memorable.
For nature lovers, there is the impressive Huang Ya Great Wall. It was built during the Ming Dynasty and stretches for about 40 kilometers. A hike along the wall is highly recommended. However, for those who want to walk around and take pictures of Tianjin, there is nothing better than the Dagu Bridge. This European-style arch bridge is over 400 meters long and offers a splendid view of the surrounding landscape.
A little further afield, the Temple of the Queen of the Sea, also known as Mazu Miao, is a must-see spot in Tianjin. This place of worship for fishermen and locals offers a unique experience by discovering the richly decorated altars, the statues of Mazu and the depictions of maritime scenes. ◄
