Wudadao is an absolute must-visit place. It was once a multi-national concession area with buildings of various styles, including German, Italian, French, Spanish, and British. The architectural styles include Renaissance, Eclecticism, Baroque, and Classical. It is truly a place that can be called an international architectural expo. The area is astonishingly large, with a building area of over one million square meters. It features garden houses, European-style small buildings, and European-style villa areas. This metropolis, where land is more precious than gold, has such a vast area with so many international-style villas, making it an invaluable architectural treasure of China.
Haihe River
The train station is the most beautiful station I have ever seen. The process of waiting for the train is really boring, but at Tianjin Station, you fear the train will come too quickly. Waiting for the train here is a great enjoyment. You can sit by the Haihe River, feel the breeze, or cross the Liberation Bridge to Jinyuan Square, find a café, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. You can also take a Haihe River cruise to appreciate the river's scenery.
Xinyi Street Pedestrian Street
Not far from Tianjin Station, it is small but very delicious. Experience European romance, there is a strong Italian atmosphere here, Italian style is world-renowned, and the places rented in China also pay attention to architecture. It can be said that the beauty here is indescribable in words.
A well-preserved architectural complex from the Ming and Qing dynasties, featuring traditional calligraphy and paintings, the Four Treasures of the Study, handicrafts, Tianjin specialties, Mahua (fried dough twist), Zhang Dou Beng (a type of snack), Zhang's clay figurines, Yangliuqing New Year paintings, and Goubuli buns. Once you arrive, you can wander around; you might not necessarily find a great bargain.
