#chinaattractions Tianjin Photography | Beian Bridge and Daguangming Bridge, China's "Seine River Banks" n The biggest feeling about traveling in Tianjin is that half of Tianjin is filled with romantic bridges Sharing some of my favorite bridge photo-taking spots 2️⃣3️⃣6️⃣Daguangming Bridge. Go down the stairs to Daguangming Bridge and you will find many camera spots where you can take photos of the European-style architecture in the picture. The composition with Roman columns as the foreground is super beautiful

When it comes to traveling in Tianjin, you can't miss the Haihe River and the bridges over it. My favorite section is: Beian Bridge - Dagu Bridge - Liberation Bridge. From Beian Bridge to Liberation Bridge, passing through Dagu Bridge, the distance is about 1.5 kilometers. From sunset to dusk, you won't feel tired but will be amazed by the scenery. The scenery on both sides of the Haihe River is like a painting, with European and modern styles alternating. There are also many unique experiences, such as watching art performances under Beian Bridge, walking on the frozen surface of Dagu Bridge, and listening to the sound of the century clock on Liberation Bridge. Southern children say that the northern winter is good except for the strong wind. Haha~

Tianjin is a historical city full of exotic charm 🏙. Over the course of more than 600 years, it has developed a unique cultural landscape that blends Chinese and Western elements, appealing to both refined and popular tastes. The Haihe River is the mother river of Tianjin and also a witness to its history. Tianjin's small Western-style buildings are known as an exhibition hall of international architecture, featuring Gothic-style churches ⛪️, the Romanesque Xikai Church ⛪️, classical revival French 🇫🇷 public buildings, and Western-style architecture that fills every corner of Tianjin. These buildings also hide many legendary stories. When you walk into them, you can't help but marvel at this city full of history and stories 🏙. Recommended Historical Buildings: The Astor Hotel: Built in 1863 by British 🇬🇧 pastor John Innocent, it was named after the teachings of Mencius, meaning 'benefit and virtue'. This time, stepping into it is to explore an old elevator, the first generation elevator installed by the Otis company, which still operates normally today. It can be called the oldest existing elevator in China, having witnessed many years of hardship and still standing by the Haihe River with many stories of celebrities and dignitaries. Binjiang Dao Pedestrian Street: Centered around the Quanye Bazaar, this pedestrian street still maintains the local commercial atmosphere. Although it is currently closed for renovation, it is a mirror witnessing the history of Tianjin's commerce. Italian Style Street: Located in the city center, it was once the only Italian concession beside the Haihe River. Walking through it feels like being in a European town. The first thing that catches your eye is the tall clock tower, followed by the hollow bronze carriage, red-roofed Italian buildings, and European sculptures. After restoration, it has become a street for food and cultural leisure, especially lively in the evening when the lights come on, with Western restaurants and cafes ☕️ flickering with lights and live singers performing. There is also a museum introducing the history of Tianjin and future urban planning. Other attractions include Xiaobailou, Tianjin Eye, Liberation Bridge, Wudadao, Porcelain House, Century Clock, Tianjin Museum, etc. Food Recommendations: Goubuli Baozi, Erduoyan Fried Cake, Mahua, Jianbing Guozi, Guoba Cai, Sugar-roasted Chestnuts, Eight Big Bowls, etc. Southwest Corner Snack Street: A food street full of local flavor and a gathering place for halal snacks. From breakfast to late-night snacks, it is always bustling with tourists, especially with very affordable prices. It features Hai Ji Lao Wei Juan Quan, Long Yue Zhai Zhang Ji Fried Cake, San Xing Zhai Jianbing Guozi, Guoba Cai, and Wang Sangu Beef Pie, etc. Nanshi Food Street: Also a renowned food street, mainly operating local snacks and specialties. Over time, it has completed its mission and is currently closed for renovation. Listen. Jiao'er Xiangsheng Teahouse (Binjiang Dao Branch): When you are tired from touring, go to this Xiangsheng teahouse to listen to cross talk and drink tea. The atmosphere is superb, with continuous laughter and applause washing away fatigue. Two days in Tianjin passed in an instant. Walking along the Haihe River, seeing the dazzling lights and the blend of international architecture, it felt like being in Europe in the blink of an eye...

Fun for the Whole Family** Tianjin, a northern port city that embraces diversity, boasts a rich history of international architecture and a vibrant pulse of modern technology. The Haihe River flows through the city, where the Ferris wheel and Ancient Culture Street create a charming contrast, and the aquarium and museums hold the answers to children's endless questions. As a popular choice for short trips in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, a family trip to Tianjin is both relaxing and fulfilling. This May Day holiday, we embarked on a 3-day, 2-night family trip to Tianjin with our 7-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter. We've compiled this guide, covering all aspects of dining, accommodation, and entertainment, to help you enjoy a family adventure in Tianjin! --- ### **1. Preparation: Travel Light, Be Prepared** 1. **Clothing and Gear** - Spring and Autumn: Windbreaker + light sweater (strong winds along the Haihe River); Summer: sun hat + ice sleeves; Winter: thick down jacket. - Stroller (many cobblestone streets in Wudadao and Italian Style Town, recommend a lightweight stroller). - Portable water bottle, wet wipes (many Tianjin snacks are sold at outdoor stalls, convenient for cleaning on the go). 2. **Transportation and Tickets** - Bind Alipay to the "Tianjin Metro" app, scan to enter and exit stations; for areas with many attractions, consider using shared bikes and walking. - Book popular venues in advance: National Maritime Museum, Tianjin Science and Technology Museum, etc. (free venues require ticket reservations). 3. **Fun Pre-Trip Activities** - Introduce your children to Tianjin's "humor capital" culture, watch the animated series "The Grand Canal," and spark their interest in canal history. --- ### **2. Itinerary Recommendations: 3-Day, 2-Night Highlights** **Day 1: Old City Charm - Ancient Street Treasure Hunt + Haihe Romance** - **Morning: Ancient Culture Street** Under the "Jinmen Guli" archway, take your children to visit the clay figurine shop "Niren Zhang" and the Yangliuqing New Year Painting shop, and try painting a mini New Year painting (CNY 30 experience). The street's roasted pear cake (rice cake + jam) and dragon mouth copper pot tea soup are must-try snacks. Our daughter holding a painted sugar figurine and licking it as she walked melted the hearts of passersby. - **Lunch: Lao Yongsheng Baozi Shop** Avoid the high prices of "Goubuli," locals prefer this shop. The three-flavor baozi are juicy, and watching our child carefully bite into the baozi to sip the soup was amusing. We recommend the pumpkin porridge and vegetarian mixed dish, which are light and tasty. - **Afternoon: Italian Style Town** Take a double-decker sightseeing bus (CNY 30/person, free for children under 1.2m) through the European-style buildings. Our son counted the horse carriage sculptures and shouted, "It's like traveling to Rome." In the evening, watch street performers at Dante Square, and our children danced to the music. - **Night: Tianjin Eye + Haihe River Cruise** Book the Ferris wheel 3 days in advance (CNY 70/person), and enjoy the Haihe River night view from a transparent cabin 120 meters high. We recommend the "Night View Loop" cruise (CNY 100/person), which features a crosstalk performance in the cabin. Although our children didn't understand the jokes, they were amused by the actors' exaggerated expressions. **Day 2: Ocean Adventure - Polar Exploration + Science Enlightenment** - **All Day: Haichang Polar Ocean Park (Binhai New Area)** Take Metro Line 9 directly to the park, and head straight to the "Beluga Theater" (10:30 showtime). The moment the beluga kissed the glass drew cheers from the audience. The underwater tunnel felt like being in the deep sea, and our daughter screamed with excitement when a stingray glided overhead. You can have lunch at the "Whale Shark Restaurant" inside the park, where the kids' meal comes with fish-shaped rice balls. **Tips:** - Check the show schedule in advance, and prioritize watching the "Whale and Dolphin Alliance" (dolphin ball balancing + knight parade). - The park is quite cold, so bring a light jacket. - **Evening: Binhai Library** The "Eye of Binhai" pure white book mountain is visually stunning, and the children's reading area has pop-up books and beanbag chairs. Our son was engrossed in "The Octonauts" and didn't want to leave. Note: Bags must be stored, and cameras are not allowed. **Day 3: History and Future - Museum Time Travel + Family Cycling** - **Morning: National Maritime Museum** The "Maritime Palace Museum" lives up to its name. We recommend heading straight to the "Ancient Ocean" exhibition hall with your children. The 3-story-high whale skeleton fossil left our children in awe. The interactive area allows you to touch shark eggs and play a virtual fishing game, making learning fun. - **Lunch: Fisherman's Home (Dongdi Park Branch)** A seafood restaurant near the museum, we recommend the mackerel dumplings and shrimp gnocchi soup, which are fresh and boneless, suitable for children. - **Afternoon: Wudadao Cycling** Rent a family tricycle (CNY 50/hour) and ride through the rose garden of Munan Park and the red-walled corridors of Minyuan Square. Play the "Find the Little Lions" game in the garden of Prince Qing's Mansion (there are 100 stone lions with different postures on the eaves). Our children lost count halfway through but enjoyed the game. --- ### **3. Food Recommendations: Snacks and Meals** 1. **Nanlou Jianbing (Longchang Road Branch)** Freshly ground mung bean flour pancakes with double eggs and crispy crackers. Children can share half a set with hot soy milk. 2. **Jiuheju Zhajiangmian (Liwan Road Branch)** Hand-rolled noodles with a chewy texture and savory sauce. Children can choose "small bowl vegetarian noodles" with sweet and sour gluten and cucumber strips. 3. **Nana's Restaurant (Isetan Branch)** A popular Western restaurant with children's meals that are both visually appealing and nutritious: bear-shaped rice + vegetable salad + mini fries, perfect for parents to take photos and share on social media. --- ### **4. Accommodation Recommendations: Family-Friendly and Reliable** - **Polar Ocean Hotel** Located across the street from Haichang Park, the rooms have penguin/polar bear themes, and you can enjoy the park's night light show by opening the curtains before bed. - **The Ritz-Carlton, Tianjin (Heping District)** A classical European-style building with a children's play area, offering picture book borrowing and playtime services with a little butler, allowing parents to enjoy afternoon tea. --- ### **5. Practical Tips: Smooth Travel** 1. **Avoiding Pitfalls** - The "crosstalk teahouses" on Ancient Culture Street mainly target tourists, with varying quality. We recommend visiting "Mingliu Teahouse" for authentic Tianjin humor. - Binjiangdao Pedestrian Street is crowded, so be cautious when visiting with children on weekends. 2. **Transportation Tips** - Choose the "Dabeiyuan Wharf - Italian Style Town" short route for the Haihe River cruise (40 minutes) to avoid restless children. - Parking is difficult in the Wudadao area, so we recommend taking Metro Line 1 to "Xiaobailou" station and walking. 3. **Hidden Gems** - There is a family market at Minyuan Square on Sunday mornings, where you can make handmade kites. - The Liberation Bridge near Tianjin Station Wharf opens on holidays (check the official account for specific times). The scene of the mechanical bridge slowly rising amazed our children, who exclaimed, "The iron giant is waking up!" A family trip to Tianjin is a wonderful collision of tradition and modernity. Our son high-fived a beluga through the glass at the aquarium, our daughter chased pigeons under the crabapple trees in Wudadao, and we savored the warmth of the city in a bowl of hot Guoba Cai. This city may not have the grandeur of famous mountains and rivers, but it infuses family travel with unique joy through the gentle waves of the Haihe River, the aroma of Jianbing Guozi, and the open-mindedness of Tianjin people. On the way home, our children were already planning: "Next time, we want to go to the aircraft carrier park and drive a 'tank'!" You see, the excitement of Tianjin is never-ending...
