#TravelChina Tianjin is a port city of two cultures, blending East and West harmoniously. It is the commercial center of China, so it is highly multicultural. We will see European-style architecture, an old town, an English district, an Italian district, and many modern shopping areas. The landmark is the Tianjin Eye or the giant Ferris wheel, which is very beautiful to go up to see. Then there is the Jinggang Bridge, Haihe Cultural Square, Century Clock Tower, Tianhua Palace, etc. The vibe of this city is very good. Take a leisurely walk along the Haihe River.

It is convenient and economical with a fare starting at only 2 yuan.
