Tips in Tianjin

China Today, November 11, 2016 Adjust font size:

Italianate Street

 

Nearly 200 European-style buildings have been conserved in the old Italian Concession and form the modern “Italian-style Street” on the north bank of the Haihe River. The street has been developed as a shopping center and entertainment district. A square named after Marco Polo is surrounded by numerous Italianate edifices. Well-known academics and politicians used to reside here, including Liang Qichao, Cao Yu, Li Shutong, Yuan Shikai, and Feng Guozhang. Pictures of their former residences will be a highlight of your photo albums.

Transport: Jianguo Road (Subway Line 2)

Tips: Most snacks in Tianjin are made of flour. Some are deep fried or baked while some are made into sticky sweets. Goubuli steamed stuffed buns (baozi), ear-hole fried cake and Guifaxiang fried dough twists are the top three local snacks.
