Tianjin- an underrated city

Staying in Beijing and have some time up your sleeve? Then we definitely recommend a day or overnight trip Tianjin, a short trip from Beijing (30mins by fast train). Things to do in Tianjin: Wudadao- an old British concession area. Absolutely gorgeous and one of our favourite areas in the city. We recommend starting at Minyuan stadium (great place for lunch, dinner or a drink). From here, start exploring the picturesque streets by foot or bicycle, which are full of Instagram-worthy spots, cute cafes and bars.   Walk along the river - this is especially beautiful at night, the river come to life and you will be in awe of the city lights. 🌆 Osteria- they have the best pizza, I'm talking authentic, mouth watering Italian pizza! Their cocktails are also delicious.🍕🍹 Italian Town- it's touristy and cheesy but worth a look. Venezia is the best Italian restaurant here. Binjiangdao is the main street through the city (also just off the river). Great place to stop after a long river walk. It has a nice Starbucks Reserve which does cocktails as well as coffee. 🍸 Shuishang Gongyuan (water park)- Our favourite park. It has a massive lake in the centre and is a great place to people watch. Aocheng- Not far from the water park. This area is full of restaurants and bars. Good place for a night out. #tianjintravel #beijingdaytrips #beijingtravel #deliciousfood #riverwalk #urbanexplorer #underratedcities
