Tianjin Five Great Avenues: Tianjin's Exclusive Romance

📚Five Great Avenues, officially known as the Five Great Avenues Historical and Cultural District, was originally part of the British Concession. After the Tianjin British Concession was established on December 17, 1860, this area was designated as part of the concession. After the 1911 Xinhai Revolution, many Qing Dynasty imperial relatives and remnants of the old order moved from Beijing to live in the Tianjin Concession, making the Five Great Avenues area a "country within a country." In the 1960s, Tianjin's urban construction department designated this area as the "Five Great Avenues" for unified management. It is a national 4A-level scenic spot. 📚The architectural styles of the Five Great Avenues are mostly Greek, Renaissance, Gothic, and Romantic. It has more than 2,000 garden-style houses built in the 1920s and 1930s, including more than 300 well-preserved buildings and former residences of famous people.
