Walking all around those streets it’s possible to forget that you are in China. Buildings represent the part of Tianjin history. Some of them became museums. But lots of houses function right now like cafes, bars or restaurants. Almost in every street you will find an unusual stylish place to drink a cup of coffee. Walk or take a bike and ride all around! You will not regret! #bucketlistreboot

There is a small post office near the entrance and exit of Fifth Avenue, but unfortunately there are not many commemorative stamps available for purchase.

At 3pm on Chongqing Road, the wind swirls the fallen leaves of the Chinese hackberry tree against the Roman column reliefs, and the delivery man's electric scooter whizzes past the Gothic archway, the steam from the soybean milk in his basket wafts onto the brick wall, blurring the traces of time. Crouching down to tie my shoelaces, I catch a glimpse of a half-rusted nail embedded in the gap between the floor tiles, wondering which craftsman dropped it a hundred years ago. History here is like a pot of lukewarm water, bubbling with the bubbles of modern life - faded school uniforms are drying on the Baroque balcony, the cast iron mailbox is filled with fitness flyers, and the shared bicycle lock holes at the root of the Qing Palace wall have accumulated three years of plane tree fluff. I've summarized the must-visit spots in the Five Avenues: 1. Minyuan Square The sunken circular arcade is the core landmark, with moss and tourist footprints layered on the Roman column bases, and the underground museum houses old photos of the sports field during the concession period. 2. Qing Palace The mansion of Zai Zhen, the last emperor of the Qing dynasty, with cracks in the Belgian floor tiles at the corner of the stairs, which are said to be champagne glasses broken at a dance in 1930. 3. No. 75 Row House on Changde Road The English green paint door frame still has traces of the milk box nails, and the windowsill is filled with blood pressure medication bottles and cacti, with residents living in harmony with the historical buildings. 4. Mu'nan Park on Dali Road When the crabapple flowers bloom in spring, the pink sea of flowers echoes the iron railings of the French-style houses, and the locals' morning exercise tai chi fans sweep across the fallen flowers. --- In addition, I've learned about some hidden spots: - Jianbing stall at No. 121 Chongqing Road The owner uses an iron shovel to knock out the rhythm of the Jianbing batter, the crisp sound overlaps with the hourly chime of the Minyuan Clock Tower, and the market atmosphere collides with the historical feeling. - No. 2 Broken Window Building on Dali Road The hole in the colored glass on the third floor casts a rainbow of light onto the steamer of the steamed bun shop on a sunny day. The building has been occupied by warlords, foreign bank managers, and union presidents. - Building with bumps on Hebei Road The exterior wall is covered with Ming and Qing porcelain fragments, and the uneven "bumps" brick wall gleams in the sunset. This was the former residence of Ma Lianliang, a famous Peking Opera performer. - Tianjin Foreign Language University on Ma Chang Road Filming location for "Golden Years," the red tile roof and climbing plants of the teaching building are intertwined, and students walk hurriedly through the arched corridor with textbooks in their hands. Practical advice: - Light and shadow moments: 7-8am or 4-5pm, the outline of the building is outlined by the oblique light, creating a sense of three-dimensionality. - Hidden routes: Turn from Changde Road to Guilin Road, and you can find a magical scene where clotheslines are stretched across the Italian-style carved balcony along the narrow alleys of the residential area. History here is not in the display case, but in the rusty nails in the cracks, the medicine bottles on the windowsill, and the heat of the Jianbing stall. Bring a bottle of Shanhaiguan soda and sit on the stone steps of Minyuan Square to wait for the dusk to paint the foreign buildings with a honey-colored patina. Perhaps you can hear the sound of time breathing in the folds of the building.

I came to this coffee shop for the environment. When you enter the yard, you will see an antique courtyard. When the weather is warm, you can sit outside in the sun or make tea around the stove. When it's cold, I sit inside and drink tea and coffee. The only downside is that it's too expensive.

Fun for the Whole Family** Tianjin, a northern port city that embraces diversity, boasts a rich history of international architecture and a vibrant pulse of modern technology. The Haihe River flows through the city, where the Ferris wheel and Ancient Culture Street create a charming contrast, and the aquarium and museums hold the answers to children's endless questions. As a popular choice for short trips in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, a family trip to Tianjin is both relaxing and fulfilling. This May Day holiday, we embarked on a 3-day, 2-night family trip to Tianjin with our 7-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter. We've compiled this guide, covering all aspects of dining, accommodation, and entertainment, to help you enjoy a family adventure in Tianjin! --- ### **1. Preparation: Travel Light, Be Prepared** 1. **Clothing and Gear** - Spring and Autumn: Windbreaker + light sweater (strong winds along the Haihe River); Summer: sun hat + ice sleeves; Winter: thick down jacket. - Stroller (many cobblestone streets in Wudadao and Italian Style Town, recommend a lightweight stroller). - Portable water bottle, wet wipes (many Tianjin snacks are sold at outdoor stalls, convenient for cleaning on the go). 2. **Transportation and Tickets** - Bind Alipay to the "Tianjin Metro" app, scan to enter and exit stations; for areas with many attractions, consider using shared bikes and walking. - Book popular venues in advance: National Maritime Museum, Tianjin Science and Technology Museum, etc. (free venues require ticket reservations). 3. **Fun Pre-Trip Activities** - Introduce your children to Tianjin's "humor capital" culture, watch the animated series "The Grand Canal," and spark their interest in canal history. --- ### **2. Itinerary Recommendations: 3-Day, 2-Night Highlights** **Day 1: Old City Charm - Ancient Street Treasure Hunt + Haihe Romance** - **Morning: Ancient Culture Street** Under the "Jinmen Guli" archway, take your children to visit the clay figurine shop "Niren Zhang" and the Yangliuqing New Year Painting shop, and try painting a mini New Year painting (CNY 30 experience). The street's roasted pear cake (rice cake + jam) and dragon mouth copper pot tea soup are must-try snacks. Our daughter holding a painted sugar figurine and licking it as she walked melted the hearts of passersby. - **Lunch: Lao Yongsheng Baozi Shop** Avoid the high prices of "Goubuli," locals prefer this shop. The three-flavor baozi are juicy, and watching our child carefully bite into the baozi to sip the soup was amusing. We recommend the pumpkin porridge and vegetarian mixed dish, which are light and tasty. - **Afternoon: Italian Style Town** Take a double-decker sightseeing bus (CNY 30/person, free for children under 1.2m) through the European-style buildings. Our son counted the horse carriage sculptures and shouted, "It's like traveling to Rome." In the evening, watch street performers at Dante Square, and our children danced to the music. - **Night: Tianjin Eye + Haihe River Cruise** Book the Ferris wheel 3 days in advance (CNY 70/person), and enjoy the Haihe River night view from a transparent cabin 120 meters high. We recommend the "Night View Loop" cruise (CNY 100/person), which features a crosstalk performance in the cabin. Although our children didn't understand the jokes, they were amused by the actors' exaggerated expressions. **Day 2: Ocean Adventure - Polar Exploration + Science Enlightenment** - **All Day: Haichang Polar Ocean Park (Binhai New Area)** Take Metro Line 9 directly to the park, and head straight to the "Beluga Theater" (10:30 showtime). The moment the beluga kissed the glass drew cheers from the audience. The underwater tunnel felt like being in the deep sea, and our daughter screamed with excitement when a stingray glided overhead. You can have lunch at the "Whale Shark Restaurant" inside the park, where the kids' meal comes with fish-shaped rice balls. **Tips:** - Check the show schedule in advance, and prioritize watching the "Whale and Dolphin Alliance" (dolphin ball balancing + knight parade). - The park is quite cold, so bring a light jacket. - **Evening: Binhai Library** The "Eye of Binhai" pure white book mountain is visually stunning, and the children's reading area has pop-up books and beanbag chairs. Our son was engrossed in "The Octonauts" and didn't want to leave. Note: Bags must be stored, and cameras are not allowed. **Day 3: History and Future - Museum Time Travel + Family Cycling** - **Morning: National Maritime Museum** The "Maritime Palace Museum" lives up to its name. We recommend heading straight to the "Ancient Ocean" exhibition hall with your children. The 3-story-high whale skeleton fossil left our children in awe. The interactive area allows you to touch shark eggs and play a virtual fishing game, making learning fun. - **Lunch: Fisherman's Home (Dongdi Park Branch)** A seafood restaurant near the museum, we recommend the mackerel dumplings and shrimp gnocchi soup, which are fresh and boneless, suitable for children. - **Afternoon: Wudadao Cycling** Rent a family tricycle (CNY 50/hour) and ride through the rose garden of Munan Park and the red-walled corridors of Minyuan Square. Play the "Find the Little Lions" game in the garden of Prince Qing's Mansion (there are 100 stone lions with different postures on the eaves). Our children lost count halfway through but enjoyed the game. --- ### **3. Food Recommendations: Snacks and Meals** 1. **Nanlou Jianbing (Longchang Road Branch)** Freshly ground mung bean flour pancakes with double eggs and crispy crackers. Children can share half a set with hot soy milk. 2. **Jiuheju Zhajiangmian (Liwan Road Branch)** Hand-rolled noodles with a chewy texture and savory sauce. Children can choose "small bowl vegetarian noodles" with sweet and sour gluten and cucumber strips. 3. **Nana's Restaurant (Isetan Branch)** A popular Western restaurant with children's meals that are both visually appealing and nutritious: bear-shaped rice + vegetable salad + mini fries, perfect for parents to take photos and share on social media. --- ### **4. Accommodation Recommendations: Family-Friendly and Reliable** - **Polar Ocean Hotel** Located across the street from Haichang Park, the rooms have penguin/polar bear themes, and you can enjoy the park's night light show by opening the curtains before bed. - **The Ritz-Carlton, Tianjin (Heping District)** A classical European-style building with a children's play area, offering picture book borrowing and playtime services with a little butler, allowing parents to enjoy afternoon tea. --- ### **5. Practical Tips: Smooth Travel** 1. **Avoiding Pitfalls** - The "crosstalk teahouses" on Ancient Culture Street mainly target tourists, with varying quality. We recommend visiting "Mingliu Teahouse" for authentic Tianjin humor. - Binjiangdao Pedestrian Street is crowded, so be cautious when visiting with children on weekends. 2. **Transportation Tips** - Choose the "Dabeiyuan Wharf - Italian Style Town" short route for the Haihe River cruise (40 minutes) to avoid restless children. - Parking is difficult in the Wudadao area, so we recommend taking Metro Line 1 to "Xiaobailou" station and walking. 3. **Hidden Gems** - There is a family market at Minyuan Square on Sunday mornings, where you can make handmade kites. - The Liberation Bridge near Tianjin Station Wharf opens on holidays (check the official account for specific times). The scene of the mechanical bridge slowly rising amazed our children, who exclaimed, "The iron giant is waking up!" A family trip to Tianjin is a wonderful collision of tradition and modernity. Our son high-fived a beluga through the glass at the aquarium, our daughter chased pigeons under the crabapple trees in Wudadao, and we savored the warmth of the city in a bowl of hot Guoba Cai. This city may not have the grandeur of famous mountains and rivers, but it infuses family travel with unique joy through the gentle waves of the Haihe River, the aroma of Jianbing Guozi, and the open-mindedness of Tianjin people. On the way home, our children were already planning: "Next time, we want to go to the aircraft carrier park and drive a 'tank'!" You see, the excitement of Tianjin is never-ending...

Hello, I would like to share my travel guide to Tianjin with my bestie in January. Route 📍Day 1 Tianjin Railway Station ➡️ Xiaobailou ➡️ Wudadao ➡️ Republic of China Square ➡️ Xikai Church ➡️ Porcelain House ➡️ Liberation Bridge ➡️ Century Clock ➡️ Tianjin Eye 📍Day 2 Binhai Railway Station ➡️ Binhai Library ➡️ Old Wharf ➡️ Daliangzi Ferry ➡️ Tianjin Railway Station ➡️ Ancient Culture Street 📍Day 3 Northwest Corner . ✅ On the first day, we mainly rode shared bikes. The distance between each attraction is not far, and there are many parking spots, so it is very convenient to ride a bike. There are many delicious foods on Wudadao. I highly recommend Yaoji No. 2 Beef Noodles 🌟🌟🌟, and Ershenzi Pancake is so-so 🌟. Wenji Sticky Food is also very delicious. I recommend matcha and cocoa flavors 🌟🌟. My friend and I don't like Shilin very much. We bought a Russian salad and didn't want to eat it after two bites. The Century Clock is beautiful when lit up at night, and the location is great for taking photos. ✅ It is very convenient to take a high-speed train to Binhai Railway Station. Take a taxi to Binhai Library and check in at Joy of Life. The library is very large. I don't recommend buying bread to feed seagulls at the entrance of the Old Wharf. You can go to a nearby convenience store to buy the same bread at half the price. Volunteers will feed seagulls at around 2 pm. If you want to feed seagulls, I recommend going to Daliangzi Wharf. The round-trip ferry ticket is CNY 4. There are many seagulls. When the ferry starts, the seagulls will fly around to eat bread. ✅ Pastries, juanquan, and gaba dishes at the Northwest Corner 🌟🌟🌟 ✅ We bought Haihe Milk for CNY 2.5 per pack at a roadside convenience store. ✅ Jinmen Zhangji Baozi 🌟🌟🌟
