Astor Museum - China Travel

introduce

Astor Hotel Tianjin was built in the second year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1863). It is located on the east side of Victoria Road and Victoria Garden, the main road in Tianjin at that time, which is today's No. 199 Jiefang North Road and No. 33 Taierzhuang Road, Heping District, Tianjin. , as one of the few buildings in the middle of the 19th century in Tianjin.

The Astor Hotel has specially opened a hotel museum of more than 700 square meters to tell the history of the hotel. Currently, the Astor Museum is open every day for hotel guests to visit for free. The museum restored the restaurant and menu at that time. There are more than 3,000 antiques, cultural relics, and old objects in it, which are well preserved. Astor with a long history is a side reflection of Tianjin since its opening. After a deep understanding, I will definitely like Tianjin more.

Centennial Hotel 🏨—Tianjin Astor 🏨The Astor Hotel: Tianjin Astor Hotel is the first foreign-related hotel in China, and it is also the first luxury hotel in modern China that is well preserved and still in operation. The nearly 150-year-old hotel can be called the epitome of modern Chinese history. This hotel used to be a landmark building in Tianjin, and it was an important venue for diplomatic activities in modern history. Britain, the United States, Canada, Japan and other countries have successively set up consulates in the hotel. Sun Yat-sen, American President Hoover, British King Edward VIII, Chaplin, Mei Lanfang and other famous people have stayed here. 🌟Highlights and features: As one of the few existing mid-19th-century buildings in the former Tianjin Concession, Astor Hotel was announced by the State Council as a national key cultural relic protection unit.

It retains the style of British classical architecture and the characteristics of European medieval rural architecture, and has become a representative building of the concession in Tianjin. Founded in 1863 by the British Christian pastor Yin Sende. When it was first built, it was a one-story house, which was called a "mud house". In 1886, Yinsende raised funds to rebuild the "mud house" into a three-story luxury hotel with British classical architectural style. He named the hotel Astor Hotel according to the Chinese transliteration of his surname, and cleverly named the Chinese Mencius "Lishunde Hotel" The motto of "Ethics" is implied in it. After the hotel was completed, it became an important place for China's diplomatic and political activities.
