Tianjin in one day ☀️

Amazing Sunday trip from the capital. We took the high speed train from Beijing south station for 35 min. Upon arrival we found shared bikes and started our adventure. 🏫 we had a stop at Porcelain China House - 中国陶瓷屋. We just had a quick stop. 🏟️we then biked to five Great Avenues － 五大道 wodadao. Feels a bit like French concession in Shanghai. We found a cozy cafe here and had some ice coffee in the sun. 🫓 Food, we stoped by a local shop that had beef pancakes. Not exactly local food but a popular place amongst the locals for lunch. 🪭🏮Ancient Culture Street – 古文化街. We tried a local snack here called Shuligao, a specialty snack in Tianjin. cakes of ground hazelnut steamed using the bamboo mold and then topped with different sauces. Very colorful. 🎡Tianjin Eye – 天津之眼 we biked to see the Ferris wheel up close. Waterfront of Hai River －海河畔 we biked and partly walked a big stretch along the river. Lots of people outside enjoying their afternoon. 🌯Tianjin is famous for their Jianbing. It is said that the breakfast pancake we have all the time in Beijing has its origins from here. ⛲️ Little Europe－欧洲风情区 we briefly stoped by here just before catching the train back to Beijing. 🎫 I do recommend buying the return ticket for the train because although the train leaves every 15 min it is a popular stretch. #historicallandmarks #deliciousfood #localguides #tianjin #daytrip
