"Returned to the legendary Astor Hotel with my family, and it happened to rain in Tianjin. This time, we stayed in the old annex wing again, right across from the Hoover Suite. The Republic of China era ambiance was incredibly strong, and it had a large balcony. At night, it was right next to the projection wall, with tourists taking photos on the street, and we became part of the scene.
The housekeeping auntie at the Astor was very thoughtful. When we met her as we were leaving, she specifically greeted us and gave us a few bottles of water.
The Astor Hotel is very close to the Haihe River, with its own Astor Pier, from where you can embark on a night cruise. The front desk staff were super attentive; I specifically noted their name tags: Amanda, Maggie, and Kennys. We made sure to take a Haihe River cruise that evening. The 50-minute journey offered scenic views in the rain, which was especially delightful.
We were very fortunate this time to catch a guided tour by Ms. Wang Chen. The children followed the guide, immersing themselves in the historical ocean of the museum and learning a great deal."
