Remember Tianjin.
When I was very young, I watched a TV series "Yang Guang's Happy Life", Tianjin dialect, pancakes and fruits, a small courtyard with stone walls, and a leisurely life. This is probably my earliest understanding of Tianjin in my childhood; later I grew up , every time my mother took me to the old Tianjin Street in Dalian to go shopping, I would eat "Goubuli Baozi". At that time, I knew that this is a special food in Tianjin; in 2009, "Tianjin Eye" officially opened and became a Tianjin One of the landmarks in Tianjin, so I always thought that I must go to Tianjin and take a ride on the Ferris wheel.
Huang Tingjian, a Taoist in the valley, once said, "Riding a horse in Tianjin to see the passing water, and a boat full of wind and moon to recall the rivers and lakes." Tianjin, a city by the Haihe River, has been prosperous since ancient times, with prosperous water transportation. It is the birthplace of China's modern industry and the concession of the nine countries. This city has a pivotal position on the political and historical stage of China.
He once witnessed Li Hongzhang and Yuan Shikai's establishment of Westernization and the vigorous development of Beiyang forces; he also provided a temporary haven for bureaucrats and politicians who went to the field and Qing Dynasty veterans like Puyi. He is inclusive, and countless Chinese and foreign celebrities have lived here, Zhili governor Zeng Guofan, President Feng Guozhang, Anhui warlord leader Duan Qirui, writer Zhang Ailing, US President Hoover, Army Chief of Staff Marshall, warlord Zhang Xueliang, modern thinker Liang Qichao... ...Their former residences have gone through the changes of the times, and they are still intact, standing quietly on the streets of those days, silently witnessing the urban development of Tianjin.
"Under the Tianjin Bridge is spring water, and on the Tianjin Bridge is a bustling city." This city, which prospers along the mother river Haihe, is also a city with the most open and close bridges in China. There are more than 30 bridges on the Haihe River, large and small, and bridges have become A business card of the city, and the most famous of them is the "Yongle Bridge", on which the "Tianjin Eye" was built, and its full name is "Tianjin Yongle Bridge Ferris Wheel". The only Ferris wheel built on a bridge in the world.
Recently, I want to fulfill my wish and go to Tianjin with my boyfriend to ride the Ferris wheel. When I was looking at the photos of going to Tianjin alone on the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival in 2017 last year, I decided to write this travel note, recording that I didn't ride the Ferris wheel at that time A slightly regrettable little trip around the wheel.

Take a stroll in Tianjin.
hotel:
IU Hotel Binjiang Avenue Pedestrian Street Branch
During the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a huge flow of people traveling, and the prices of air tickets and hotels have skyrocketed, making it hard to find a room. The scheduled time is one week before the trip. It may be close to the holiday. Basically all the fast hotels can't book a room. In the end, I made a trade-off between comfort and convenience, and chose the IU Hotel on Binjiang Avenue Pedestrian Street.
When I booked this hotel, it cost a little more than 500 for one night, and it cost more than 1,600 for 3 nights. The embarrassing thing is that the price of this hotel is only more than 100 per night. , the single-night room rate has exceeded 600, this is the golden week travel...
The rooms in this hotel are relatively small, and most express hotels save space in this way. The sanitation is okay. As a Virgo, I always feel dissatisfied. The check-in experience is not very good, so I only stayed for 3 nights. It is worth mentioning that the location of the hotel is very convenient. You can walk to Binjiang Avenue Pedestrian Street, Xikai Church, Zhang Xueliang's Former Residence, Porcelain House, Old Celebrity Teahouse, etc., and it is also very convenient for eating and shopping.
Foraging on Binjiang Road:
Dalian is actually very close to Tianjin. It is estimated that the flight distance is about one and a half hours, and it has already landed in one hour. When I first arrived in Tianjin, the lights were already on, and the city was very bright with lights and neon lights. The master who made an appointment with Ctrip to pick me up called me as soon as I landed, and told me in a strong Tianjin dialect that he was waiting for me in the parking lot, and suddenly felt kind and interesting.
When I arrived at the hotel, because there were no upstairs rooms, I could only live on the first floor. The front desk promised to change me to an upstairs room tomorrow. Overall, it was clean and the room was a little small, but it was enough for one person to sleep in. . After settling in, it was past 8:00, and I asked the front desk about a nearby snack street on Liaoning Road, and I was ready to go out for food, but I saw only Liaoning Road, but no snack street. .. ...
In a daze, I found Binjiang Avenue Pedestrian Street, which is the most prosperous commercial pedestrian street in Tianjin. There are rows of shops, shopping malls, restaurants, etc., and I happened to see Quanyechang, which is a symbol of Tianjin's commerce. Republic of China.
There are "three specialties" in Tianjin-style snacks: Goubuli steamed stuffed bun, 18th Street twist, and ear-eye fried cake. The crowd queuing at the door of this ear-eye fried cake on Binjiang Road is really not ordinary, and the taste is still good. I also ate Tianjin's signature noodles. There is a cart selling pancakes and fruits at the intersection of Binjiang Road. It is said to be delicious.
After eating, I went back to the hotel to rest. After all, girls must pay attention to safety when going out alone.
Dabei Temple:
I got up early and changed the room, very satisfied. So I hurried out to Binjiang Avenue Pedestrian Street to look for the pancake fruit I met last night. Sure enough, there were people queuing up. It seemed to be 14 yuan a piece, which was a bit expensive, but the taste was really good.
There is another pancake and fruit shop near the hotel, the price is 6-7 yuan. Many local residents go there to buy breakfast in the morning, which is also delicious. There is also a Tianjin breakfast on the opposite side. I ordered a bowl of small wontons and a bowl of crispy rice. , This is the first time I have eaten this crispy rice dish, and it tastes pretty good.
I also drank the Haihe milk that I drank when I was a child. Some supermarkets can buy strawberry flavored milk.
After buying breakfast, I took a taxi to the Dabei Temple on the side of the pedestrian street. It was very convenient. In my impression, taking a taxi in Tianjin is not expensive. At the entrance of the Dabei Temple, there are many lay Buddhists who will enthusiastically ask you to explain the whole process for you. In fact, they are all for you to go to the street next to it to tell your fortune. At least 500 is required, and various transfers are supported...
Dabei Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in Tianjin. The relic of Master Xuanzang was once enshrined in the temple, and it is a temple with strong incense in Tianjin. There are no tributes sold in the temple, but 3 incense sticks will be provided. I happened to meet Master Zhiru in the temple, who was accompanying a couple of elderly people to visit the temple. I walked through each hall in order with the lay monks, and prayed to the Bodhisattva to bless the year with peace and prosperity. Unexpectedly, when burning incense, I suddenly burned my hair, hoping that all troubles and sufferings would be dissipated with the burning hair.
Every time I visit a temple, it is to sincerely pay homage and experience the local temple culture, so I usually don't take pictures.
Tianjin Eye:
Not far from the Dabei Temple is the "Tianjin Eye" that I have been thinking about. The only wish of this trip to Tianjin is to ride the Ferris wheel. However, seeing the crowds queuing up at 10 am really scared me, so I asked about it. , at least five hours. After 5 minutes of thinking, I decided to give up this obsession. Anyway, Dalian is not far from Tianjin. I must find a non-holiday to experience it next time. It is said that there are not many people on the usual Ferris wheel. . So I found a park along the way, where I could take pictures of the entire Ferris wheel, take a picture with the Ferris wheel, and go find something to eat~
Ancient Culture Street:
In the morning, I asked the driver brother, the location of the Ferris wheel is not far from the ancient culture street, so I decided to go to the ancient culture street at noon.
Ancient Culture Street is one of the "Ten Views of Jinmen" in Tianjin. Food and goods, Goubuli buns, ear-eye fried cakes, pancakes, 18th Street Mahua, and clay figurines are all there, but the flow of people is huge and crowded, so they can only walk forward in line.
The ear-eye fried cake at Wenhua Street is really delicious, better than that at Binjiang Road. If you want to buy special products, you can also buy them on the Ancient Culture Street. I bought some 18th Street Twist and Nut Sheets.
There is a memorial archway at the north and south intersections of Ancient Culture Street. The one I photographed is "Gushang Yiyuan", and the archway on the other side is "Jinmen Hometown".
The retro mailbox in front of the Qing Post Office is really unique.
In the Ancient Culture Street, there is an ancient temple with a reputation of hundreds of years, Tianhou Temple. Originally, I wanted to go to worship, but there were too many people, so I lost interest in going in and paying respect, especially at noon, when I was very hungry. Since ancient times, Tianjin has relied on its unique geographical factors, dense water and land transportation network, and developed water transportation. This temple was originally named "Tianfei Palace", which was built to worship the sea god and Queen of Heaven to protect the water transportation.
On the opposite side of Tianhou Palace, there is a bronze statue, and his life and brief introduction. He is Yan Fu, a great thinker who vigorously promoted Huxley's "Evolution of Heaven" in China, and is as famous as Mr. Kang Youwei and Mr. Sun Wen. He actively promoted the reform and reform, trying to wake up the sleeping Chinese people and save the family from peril. Dashizi Hutong in Guwenhua Street is his former residence. Although his house no longer exists in the history, he still stands in the Tianyan Square built by later generations to commemorate him. There are also stone inscriptions on Tianyan here. Tourists from all over the world come here every day, and his contribution to modern Chinese history will be known to more and more people.
Italian Style Street is one of the must-see attractions in Tianjin. We have Japanese Style Street and Russian Style Street in Dalian. I thought they were all the same, but after I came here, I fell in love with it. I spent two nights in a row Hang out here for food~
Of course, there are not so many tourists during the Golden Week, and the entrances of Yifeng Street are also full of shared bicycles parked in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, but this does not affect my enjoyment of this exotic night in the slightest.
Tianjin's Yifeng Street is the only Italian historical building complex in Asia. It was originally the Italian Concession in Tianjin. It is a square area surrounded by Wujing Road, Boai Road, Shengli Road and Jianguo Road. There are well-preserved Mediterranean-style buildings here. There are more than 200 buildings, Liang Qichao, Cao Yu, Yuan Shikai, Zeng Guofan, Feng Guozhang, Li Shutong and other Chinese celebrities have lived here. Their former residences are still intact today. Many tourists will visit their former residences and walk through the stairs they walked. Brushing your hands over the window sill they have seen from afar, and thinking quietly in their study, it seems that you can reunite with them through a century and have a deep dialogue across time and space.
At night, Yifeng Street is brightly lit, and the whole street is filled with the smell of delicious food. Western restaurants, specialty restaurants, cafes, and bars are full of tourists. Walking on the stone road where classic film and television dramas such as "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", "Mei Lanfang" and "The Family of Gold Fans" were filmed, I suddenly saw the Goubuli steamed stuffed bun that I was thinking of, there are takeaway shops, and there are also stores decorated with Chinese and Western decorations. So I walked into this 2-story building without hesitation and had a meal of traditional Tianjin cuisine.
I used to think that Goubuli was just meat buns, but I didn't expect that there are all kinds of traps, so I chose a set meal for two, which has a set of small buns with different flavors, but I still think the meat buns are the best. When I left, I packed a portion of Goubuli's pancakes, which tasted great. Although a meal of steamed stuffed buns costs nearly 200 yuan, it's a little expensive, but I have to experience it once I come to Tianjin.
I still chose to come to Yifeng Street for dinner on the second day. I had eaten Tianjin's special Goubuli buns the day before, so I chose Western food the next day. Many tourists choose to sit in the open-air dining area, there are singers singing, because the night is a bit cold, so I chose to eat in the restaurant alone. The decoration of the restaurant is very retro, with a strong European atmosphere. There are many people at night. Some come with girlfriends, some couples come here for a date, and some bring the old and young with the whole family. It seems that this is a family with tastes of all ages It's a restaurant suitable for everyone, but the price of the dishes is still on the high side. I ordered a steak, a salad, and a drink, more than 200, but less than 300.
After dinner, we went for a stroll. There are many special shops along the street, such as jewelry shops, clothes shops, souvenir shops, bookstores, etc. Among them, there is a very special shop that specializes in selling handmade incense, incense sticks, There are incense sticks and small incense towers, and the displays in the store are very tasteful. The whole store is filled with the smell of sandalwood, which makes people feel at ease and peaceful.
Go straight to Marco Polo Square, which is named after Marco Polo, a famous traveler in Venice, Italy. He was the first traveler to China. His knowledge of China, a wealthy ancient country in the East, spread widely in Europe, aroused Europeans' yearning for the East, and played a positive role in the opening of new sea routes. My favorite is the statue of the goddess Athena on the Corinthian column, she is the embodiment of wisdom, she is the ancient god of war, she protects handicraft workers, and she holds an olive branch, which symbolizes peace and stability.
There is a memorial hall beside Marco Polo Square, which is the Centennial Tianjin Exhibition Hall. The exhibition hall is free and does not charge tickets. There are volunteers who explain it for free. Follow the pictures and exhibits to take us back to the century-old development history of Tianjin. It is still necessary to understand. After the explanation part is over, there is a shopping area. There are Tianjin specialties, handicrafts, expensive snuff bottles, and souvenirs such as postcards and bookmarks. I bought 2 bookmarks as souvenirs. Going outside, there is also a characteristic small shop, which sells some small toys and snacks. The point is, these are gadgets from the last century. People in the 1970s and 1980s can find childhood memories here.
There is also a flying lion wishing pool in Yifeng Street. Although it is not big, it is very distinctive. Italians always like the wishing pool, throwing coins into the fountain pool to pray for love and peace.
Century Clock:
Coming out of Yifeng Street, you can take a look at the Century Clock, which is also a famous landmark in Tianjin. In this huge clock building, the dial is surrounded by relief patterns of 12 constellations. The pendulum is a curved crescent with a sun on the top and bottom. The sun and the moon shine together. This clock designed to commemorate the arrival of the new century combines Chinese and Western elements Ingeniously combined together, just like Tianjin, an ancient oriental city full of western style. It's a pity that I feel that the angle I'm standing at is not very good, and the light at night is relatively dark, so the photos are not good-looking.
Jiefang Bridge, Dagu Bridge:
The all-steel bridge facing the century clock is the Jiefang Bridge built in 1927. This bridge used to be the most expensive bridge on the Haihe River, and it is one of the only three openable bridges left in the Haihe River bridge. It connects Tianjin Railway Station and Jiefang North Road, with a total length of 97.64 meters. bridge".
Looking to the side from the Jiefang Bridge, there is a streamlined bridge with a unique shape, which is Dagu Bridge. At night, the bridge will change into colorful lights. This bridge was designed by academician Deng Wenzhong, a world-renowned bridge designer. It is 243 meters long and 32 meters wide, implying "the sun and the moon shine".
Small Theater Crosstalk:
Watching cross talk in a small theater and drinking a big bowl of tea is a small wish of my trip to Tianjin. There are many famous cross talk theaters in Tianjin. The more distinctive ones are Celebrity Teahouse and Qianxiangyi Wenyuan. So I checked the official website booking information. In order to have a good seat, I booked tickets a week in advance. There are several performances a day, and the performances are performed according to the time. , I chose to be the last scene at night, so that when I fall asleep, the dreams are all interesting.
Celebrity Tea House:
Established in 1991, Celebrity Teahouse pioneered crosstalk in small theaters. It was planned and designed by Mrs. Lao She's wife, Mr. Hu Jieqing and others. The decoration style follows the style of traditional Chinese teahouses, with large lacquered long tables, back chairs, carved beams and painted columns, and an antique fragrance. patina. Ma Sanli, Shang Changrong, Su Wenmao, Guan Xuezeng, Yang Shaohua, Guo Degang and other celebrities in the folk arts circle performed here. Mr. Ma Sanli also inscribed the plaque of "Celebrity Teahouse" for the teahouse.
There are currently 4 stores in Tianjin, the Old Celebrity Teahouse on Xinhua Road, the Guwenhua Street store, the Gulou store and the new Duolundao store. Both the Duolun Road store and the Guwenhua Street store are very well decorated. The Gulou store has never been passed by or seen. You can choose a closer one according to where you live. The actors take turns to join the show.
I went to the old celebrity on Xinhua Road. The facilities are a bit outdated. It is located in the small courtyard of the police station, just behind the porcelain house, and can also connect to the WiFi of the porcelain house. Need to add location.
Celebrity Teahouse tickets can be booked directly on the official website, or on a certain treasure, and cross talk packages are also available on other platforms. If you go on holidays, you must book tickets in advance, otherwise there will be no good location. I booked the ticket a week in advance, so I sat in the second row, with a good view and really close to the stage.
The group of actors in the last photo is very, very, very funny. . .
Qianxiangyi Wenyuan:
Qianxiangyi Wenyuan is currently located on the former site of the century-old silk and satin village "Qianxiangyi", on Guyi Street, a century-old street in Tianjin. This is an ancient commercial street with a total length of more than 800 meters and a history of more than 600 years. The cradle of commerce. There are Badaxiangs who operate silk and cloth business on this bustling old street. Qian Yixiang is the head of the Badaxiangs and a "living fossil" that witnessed the commercial development of Tianjin.
In 2013, it was announced by the State Council that it was upgraded to a national key cultural relics protection unit. The century-old silk and satin village was transformed into a comic teahouse. Many cross talk masters come here to perform, and the teahouse actively holds cross talk festivals and other activities to promote traditional culture. Many people say that Qian Xiangyi is "the first teahouse in Tianjin".
There are many set meals to choose from in the teahouse, including tea, drinks, and snacks. I ordered a big bowl of tea.
Qian Xiangyi's cross talk actors are quite young, and the actors of the older generation are also very dedicated, sweating profusely after a performance. However, I personally prefer the style of celebrity teahouses, and I feel that the performance is more down-to-earth.
Porcelain house:
The "Huffington Post" of the United States selected the top 15 uniquely designed museums in the world, including the Louvre in Paris, the Denver Museum of Art in the United States, and the Pompidou Art Center. Among them, the Porcelain House became the only museum in China on the list. She is one of the most famous landmark buildings in Tianjin.
The Porcelain House is located at No. 72, Chifeng Road, next to the former residence of Zhang Xueliang. On this tree-lined road, she stood quietly by the roadside, covered with porcelain, porcelain vases, and tiles, so dazzling. The roof The big "China" logo represents both porcelain and China.
This small western-style building was originally an eclectic French-style building. It was the former residence of Huang Rongliang, a modern Chinese diplomat. In 2002, Zhang Lianzhi bought it for 30 million yuan for renovation. He designed it himself and took out his private collection for decoration. It is said that he is a People who are obsessed with porcelain.
Here is the most expensive sewer in the world, covered with amethyst and citrine. The whole house uses more than 4,000 pieces of ancient porcelain, more than 400 pieces of white marble stone carvings, more than 700 million pieces of ancient porcelain, and more than 13,000 pieces of ancient porcelain. Plates and ancient porcelain bowls, more than 20 tons of crystal stones and agate, etc... It is really a priceless "Chinese Ancient Porcelain Museum".
In July 2017, due to personal financial problems, the news that Zhang Zhilian's porcelain house was going to be auctioned spread like wildfire. I found that there are still many tourists taking pictures at the gate of the porcelain house, so I went to queue before 8 o'clock after breakfast in the morning, and there were already many tourists.
To enter the porcelain house, you have to go through the security check first, and then line up to go in. The number of people is limited. There are security guards in the house to maintain order, and there are also staff who explain regularly. When there are many people, you still have to pay attention to safety. Because there are a lot of porcelain in the house, it is cool, and it should not be hot in summer.
I don't have much aesthetic ability on porcelain, I don't know which piece is particularly expensive, and I don't know what age the bottle in a corner is, but every corner is decorated with porcelain, which really shocked me. The patterns are really beautiful. This place should be able to visit for a whole day if you calm down. If you just take a look at the flowers, one hour is enough.
Porcelain houses are said by many scholars and historians as the destruction of ancient buildings in Tianjin, but I feel that the owner of the house is really a persistent and confident person, who can't be broken or built. There are theories in the philosophy part of the high school political book, and the national It belongs to the world, and what belongs to the world belongs to the nation. To transform a French-style building into a building with unique Chinese elements, he is promoting Chinese culture by himself.
I don't know if the porcelain house will be demolished due to the auction in the future. Such a work of art should really be seen. Although many people say that she is ugly, she is so gorgeous and unique. I don't want to see it in person. It will be a pity at once.
Former residence of Zhang Xueliang:
I once watched "Young Marshal" starring the article. Although the TV series will be adapted and dramatized, it gave me a clear understanding of Zhang Xueliang's life and a deep interest in this important figure in modern history.
Among the more than 800 former residences of celebrities in Tianjin, the most distinctive one is the former residence of Marshal Zhang Xueliang. It is located at No. 78 Chifeng Road, next to the porcelain house. It originally belonged to the French Concession and was bought by Zhang Zuolin's fifth wife. , Zhang Xueliang often lived here, which witnessed his love with Miss Zhao Si.
Zhang Xueliang is one of the four most beautiful men in the Republic of China. His father is Zhang Zuolin, a great warlord. In 1936, he and Yang Hucheng of the Northwest Army launched the Double Twelve "Xi'an Incident" to detain Chiang Kai-shek and force him to resist Japan. This established the second Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, The foundation of the people's war of resistance. When he lived in Tianjin, he served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the national army and navy, which was the most prosperous time in his life.
As soon as you enter the small courtyard, you will see the bronze statues of the Young Marshal and Miss Zhao Si, as if they are still living here comfortably. There is a reception on the first floor, and every hour on the hour, there will be a special guide who will take the tourists to visit and explain, stepping on the creaky old floor, walking through every corner of the house where this legendary figure lived, and experiencing The silent changes of history and the development of the times.
There is a living room where Zhang Xueliang specially meets guests, a small stage where Anita Mui performs on stage, mahjong tables and chairs that are used for warm winter and cool summer, a dance hall where they entertain foreign guests and relatives and friends, and there is a desk where Zhang Xueliang plans state affairs. The fourth lady studied calligraphy and painting with Zhang Daqian... There are more than 300 old objects in this house. They stayed quietly in this house for hundreds of years, fulfilling their historical mission.
five avenues
Five Avenues is a foreign-style name, which reminds people of Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, the United States. From east to west, five streets named after Chengdu, Chongqing, Dali, Munan and Racecourse are lined up. This is the famous "Five Avenues" in Tianjin. "It is the most complete group of foreign-style buildings in Tianjin.
Five Avenues is known as the "International Architecture Expo Garden". There are more than 2,000 buildings of different national styles in the 1920s and 1930s. There are many Renaissance-style buildings, classicist buildings, eclectic buildings, Baroque buildings, courtyard-style Architecture and a combination of Chinese and Western architecture.
The earliest building on Five Avenues is a typical Spanish garden villa, located at No. 121 Racecourse Road, the earliest built area in Five Avenues area. It is called "Davins Building" because the famous scholar Da Vinci once lived there.
On Five Avenues, there are many residences of Qing Dynasty veterans and Beiyang high-ranking officials, as well as some domestic and foreign celebrities, well-known scholars, and writers. The more famous ones are Qingwang's Mansion at No. 55 Chongqing Road, Sun Dianying's old house, modern diplomat Yan Huiqing's former residence, Tianjin The former residence of Li Shufu, the descendant of the eight "Li Shanren", the former residence of Zhang Xueming, the second brother of Zhang Xueliang, the former residence of Cai Chengxun, the former residence of Xu Shichang, the former residence of Cao Kun, the former residence of Duan Qirui, the president of the Republic of China, etc...
Fifth Avenue has a relatively large area and many streets, so it is recommended that you ride a shared bicycle for sightseeing. It takes a long time to walk around on your legs, but if you don't know how to ride a bicycle like me, you can choose to take a horse-drawn carriage, 80 yuan for a circle, and there will be an explanation , when I went last year, Alipay and WeChat were not supported, only cash was supported. I don't know if it has kept pace with the times this year.
If you don't know which street to start shopping, you can choose to go to the tourist service center on Fifth Avenue first. Behind you is the Minyuan Stadium. Many people rest, have picnics, and bask in the sun here. If it is night, lie on the grass and watch the stars. It should also be an excellent place to watch.
The Tourist Service Center of Wudao Avenue sells tickets for related exhibition halls, a guide map of Wudao Avenue, and a photo printing machine. It's super cool. You can print out the photos you took and take them back as bookmarks
Before going to the airport, I ate at a western restaurant on Fifth Avenue. The taste of the food was good. It should be a fusion dish. The back door of the restaurant can directly go to the Minyuan Stadium. The service was very good. When I checked out, the boss said that it was because I was the only woman. The child came, knew that I was here for tourism, and gave me a pink scarf as a gift. I was really surprised, but unfortunately, I forgot the name of the restaurant. It is next to the big stone gate of Wudao Avenue, and there is an outdoor dining area of.
In short, this is a good place for one person to be in a daze, two people to take a walk, three people to go on a date, and a family to spend the weekend, take photos, drink coffee, ride a bicycle, and live a very comfortable life.
Xikai Church:
Xikai Church can also be regarded as one of the must-see cards for Tianjin tourism.
Speaking of the church on Dushan Road, Binjiang Road, it was built in 1916 by the French missionary Du Baolu. It is the largest Romanesque building in Tianjin, and its full name is the Catholic Xikai Main Church. The architectural style of this church belongs to the Romanesque style, with three juxtaposed green domes, up to 45 meters high, with a bronze cross on each dome.
Masses are held at 6:00 and 7:30 every morning. On Sundays and Catholic holidays, there will be many sacrifices throughout the day. Friends with faith can count the time to visit.
Xikai Church is located in a busy city, but it is not solemn. It is opposite to the pedestrian street, and there are many shopping malls. It is very convenient for shopping and eating. This was originally a majestic building, but with the color of faith, it looks more solemn and sacred.
I have always felt that churches are the same as Chinese temples. The whole building exudes the breath of faith inside and out, but the feeling is a little different. Walking on the stone road of the temple, there is an inexplicable feeling of calm. The incense in the temple But no matter which church, I always feel a sense of desolation and chill. No matter how beautiful the murals are, they can't give me a warm feeling. Maybe this is the difference of beliefs. For those who believe in Western religions For people, perhaps this is also a harbor for comforting the soul.
Jingyuan:
There are many former residences of celebrities in Tianjin. Apart from Zhang Xueliang, the one I am most interested in is Puyi, the last emperor who accepted the destiny but was not protected by fortune. I want to see the place where he once lived in Tianjin.
Jingyuan, formerly known as Ganyuan, is the residence of Lu Zongyu, the Beiyang government's ambassador to Japan. It was built in 1921, which is the year the Communist Party of China was born and an important year in Chinese history. Jingyuan is located at No. 70 Anshan Road, in the former Japanese Concession. The entire house architecture incorporates both Spanish and Japanese styles, which is exquisite, chic and majestic.
In 1929, Puyi, the last emperor, lived here with his empress Wanrong and concubine Shu Wenxiu, and changed its name to "Jingyuan", which means "quietness to nourish my noble spirit". Puyi is here to "watch the changes and wait for the opportunity" to pursue his dream of restoring the Manchu Empire. Although he has only lived here for 2 years, these two years should be the end of the emperor's luxurious life for his life. From then on, his life was spent in endless prisons and reforms for a long period of time.
There is a ticket office at the entrance of the former residence, and you can pay with WeChat Alipay, which is very convenient. In order to fully understand Puyi and the story in this house, I invited the park to explain. Not only will the introduction be given in order, but also the questions will be answered. The service is very good, but there are too many eleven people, a small group The house is crowded with people, and the yard outside the house is also full of people.
There is a Puyi exhibition hall in the former residence, which introduces Puyi's life in detail from three parts: "Twilight in the Forbidden City", "Jinmen Residence", and "After Exiting Customs". There are a large number of photos in the exhibition hall, which are of great historical significance.
Nanshi Food Street:
Nanshi Food Street is one of the "Ten Scenes of Jinmen". It imitates the architecture of the Qing Dynasty. There are various Tianjin snacks and restaurants of the eight major cuisines in the country, bringing together various delicacies. When I went, there were too many people, so many people were crowded when I walked, so... I walked around and left. When there are not many people, I can walk slowly and eat a lot of good food. food.
Every time I go to a city, I have a habit of going to a museum to learn about the city's past and present.
Tianjin Museum is located in the cultural center of Tianjin, which is a little farther than other scenic spots. In addition to Tianjin Museum, the cultural center also has Tianjin Museum of Natural History, Tianjin Library, Tianjin Art Museum, Tianjin Grand Theater, Galaxy Shopping Center, etc. It is an area with a strong differentiated atmosphere and convenient eating, drinking and entertainment.
The square of the cultural center is very large, and there is also a large artificial lake in which there are many small carps. Many parents take their children to play in the square, which is a good place to go on weekends.
I booked the time to enter the museum in advance with my ID card on the official website. In fact, there are not many people. When I come, I can go to the window to queue up to exchange tickets, which is very convenient. The museums in Tianjin do not have a special explanation service, but there will be a timetable, and there will be volunteers giving explanations in certain exhibition halls at a fixed time.
On the first floor of the museum, there is a place for selling souvenirs, as well as a storage room and a hot water room. There are many resting seats on each floor. The design and service are very user-friendly.
The museum is divided into "The Origin of Tianjin's Humanities", "A Hundred Years of China Looking at Tianjin" and "Glorious Treasures-Exhibition of Collections of Cultural Relics". The important position in China's modern history, as well as the rich material culture and heritage left behind in the course of thousands of years of development.
There are very few people in the museum, which is really a rare and quiet place.
There is a British proverb that says that people are closest to God when they are alone, and traveling alone is also the best time for a person to face himself. Occasionally stay away from the noisy crowd, put down the cell phone that has been ringing all the time, choose a book and be alone On the road, I feel that the world has become softer. With the experience of traveling alone in Tianjin, this time I will go together to sit on the Ferris wheel that I have been thinking about, Tianjin, see you soon.
