This year's drama festival opened on September 13 and will run until January 2026. Through the performance of high-quality plays and the hosting of a variety of drama and cultural tourism activities such as the "Immersive Everywhere - City of Drama" National Day special event, the 3rd Tianjin University Student Drama Festival, and the 1st Tianjin Primary and Secondary School Campus Drama Festival, the festival will bring high-quality cultural resources to the public, highlighting Tianjin's profound theatrical cultural heritage, gathering theatrical talents from all over the world, highlighting the characteristics of universal participation and city-wide linkage, and creating an urban cultural event with the unique characteristics of Tianjin culture.
As a vivid practice of the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in the cultural field, this year's drama festival integrates the coordinated development of the three regions' cultures into various sections, vividly showcasing the deep integration of the literary and artistic forces of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. The opening performance, "White Snake: Happy to Meet Sheng Qing," will be jointly produced by seven major troupes: the Beijing Peking Opera Company, the China Pingju Opera Company, the Beijing Hebei Bangzi Opera Company, the Hebei Bangzi Opera Company of Hebei Province, the Tianjin Peking Opera Company, the Tianjin Pingju Opera Company, and the Tianjin Hebei Bangzi Opera Company, bringing together renowned artists from the Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei regions.

The Tianjin University Student Drama Festival will expand to universities in both Beijing and Hebei, creating a platform for more young people to engage in theatrical creation and performance. Furthermore, the Tianjin Drama Festival will feature outstanding works from both regions, including the Beijing Opera and Dance Company's dance drama "Breaking the Ice."

I hope the performance of this play will add a touch of color to the Tianjin Theater Festival."

The National Museum of Marine Life is well worth a visit. We signed up for a guided tour, which was very interesting. Although there were a lot of people, the experience was still very good. Children and adults interested in marine life can come and listen to the guides and learn a lot. The guides are more interactive than reading or scanning QR codes, and questions are answered immediately. It was a very enjoyable trip, but remember to book in advance. The sea salt ice cream in the museum is also delicious; you should definitely try it when you go.

Historic buildings

爱笑的宝哥

Tianjin Jingyuan, located at 70 Anshan Road, Heping District, Tianjin, was built in 1921 as the private residence of Lu Zongyu, the Beiyang government&#39;s ambassador to Japan. In 1929, the last emperor, Puyi, his empress Wanrong, and his concubine Wenxiu moved here, renaming the garden &quot;Jingyuan,&quot; meaning &quot;tranquility fosters a noble spirit.&quot;

Jingyuan, an eclectic-style building covering approximately 3,000 square meters, is primarily constructed of brick and wood, blending Spanish and Japanese architectural features. The grounds offer a tranquil environment, including a fountain, a veranda, and a tennis court. The main building, recreating the furnishings of Puyi&#39;s time, displays artifacts, photographs, and furniture. It houses the Puyi Exhibition Hall and the Restoration Exhibition Hall.

Opened to the public after restoration in 2007, it is now a National AAA-level scenic spot, a Tianjin Municipal Cultural Relic Protection Unit, and a patriotic education base.

Dongjiang Seaside Park

卡皮巴拉游世界

Dongjiang Seaside Park is a seaside treasure of Tianjin Binhai New Area. The viewing platforms and trails along the coastline bring the sea breeze and waves to your eyes. The beach is fine and soft, and parents and children can play in the sand here. The golden and red sea view at sunset is a must-take blockbuster. The best time to watch seagulls is from 6 to 9 in the morning and from 4 to 6 in the evening. At this time, seagulls circle in groups or forage in the reef area after low tide. Their agile figures add vitality to the seascape. The vegetation and seascape in the park are intertwined, which is suitable for all seasons, but the number of seagulls in winter (December-February) is particularly spectacular.

Yangliuqing Ancient Town was the Jizhou of Yugong, the land of Youyan in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Bohai Prefecture in the Han Dynasty, and Qingzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty. During the Lingde to Yuanfeng years (1004-1085), the Yellow River burst to the north of the border to form a &quot;triangle pond&quot; (called Dongdian), where rivers and lakes converged and flowed eastward, and it was named &quot;Liukou&quot;. Song general Yang Yanzhao established the &quot;Kola Defense Line&quot; along the boundary river (now Daqing River), planted willows everywhere, and it was called &quot;Liukou&quot;. In the second year of Jin Zhenyou (1214), &quot;Liukou Town&quot; was established, marking the beginning of Xingnishi painting. It was renamed Yangliuqing in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.
The thousand-year-old town of Yangliuqing is not only the birthplace of Yangliuqing woodblock New Year paintings, the first of &quot;Chinese woodblock New Year paintings&quot;, but also gave birth to China&#39;s &quot;Daying&quot; culture; the &quot;World Cultural Heritage&quot; - the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passes through the town, and the &quot;No. 1 House in North China&quot; - Shijia Courtyard sits on the riverside.
