Chinese but in Europe… Tianjin 1 night 2 days itinerary + review

#ChinaTravelMoment #2024WishEvent Tianjin is a nearby city that can be reached by train from Beijing in about 30 minutes, but when you actually get there, you will see a landscape that doesn't feel like China. European-style buildings everywhere, quiet riverside promenades, and even local food!! One day is enough, but the aftertaste is long-lasting👍 ⸻ 🗓 Tianjin 1 Night 2 Days Itinerary Day 1 – Tianjin European-style walk 🚄 Morning – Arrive in Tianjin & check in to your accommodation Take a taxi or Didi from the train station to your accommodation near the Haihe River (about 15 minutes) If you choose a place with a riverside view or near European-style architecture, it’s also great for walking or seeing the night view 🏛 Afternoon – Modern Architecture Street & Italian Street ‘Wudadao’ is the street where you can feel the Tianjin sensibility the best The European-style buildings, alleys, and brick architecture are preserved intact, so it’s like a movie set, and the photos come out well 📸 **Italian Street (意大利风情街)** is also highly recommended There are many cafes, souvenir shops, and traditional prop shops The atmosphere is very European, from the stone pavement, murals, and street music 🍴 Evening – Experience Tianjin local food When you go to Tianjin, you can’t miss the ‘狗不理 包子’ A Chinese meat dumpling filled with fillings, great to eat with hot soup There are also many lamb skewers and various seafood dishes nearby, so you have a wide range of dining options 🌉 Night view – Haihe River night view walk When the lights turn on along the riverside, the bridges and high-rise buildings on both sides are reflected, making it a perfect night walk course The Ferris wheel that goes around the river is also a representative point of Tianjin! It's nice to try it, and it's pretty just to look at ⸻ Day 2 - Leisurely Ending ☕ Morning - Emotional Cafe or Traditional Teahouse Start your morning with a cup of coffee at a cafe near your hotel, or a warm tea at a local teahouse There are many quiet alley cafes in Tianjin, so there are also good places to take pictures hidden here and there 🎨 Morning - Visit a Cultural Street or Bookstore Tianjin has many neighborhoods with an artistic atmosphere, so I recommend visiting book cafes, workshops, and design shops If you're lucky, you might even see a small exhibition or busking 🍜 Lunch - Local noodles or dim sum Mianpi (凉皮), hot pot, soup dishes, etc. Solve lunch with a local meal that's perfect for a refreshing end! 🧳 Go to the train station & finish If you have time, I recommend shopping for snacks or gifts at the shopping mall in front of the train station ⸻ 💡 Travel tips 📍 About 3040 minutes by high-speed train from Beijing, and a round-trip on the same day is also possible 📷 The prettiest time for taking photos of Wudadao & Italian Street is before 3AM and PM 🚶 The Haihe Riverside has a much more atmospheric night than during the day 🥟 The ‘Gubuli Baozi’ varies depending on the restaurant, so I recommend using a restaurant recommended by a local 🚖 The Didi app is a must! It’s convenient because moving around the city is short and cheap ⸻ ✍️ Overall review It was close to Beijing, so I left lightly, but it was a much prettier and quieter city than I expected. A place where European and Chinese sensibilities coexist, It’s a great place for taking pictures and taking a day off! #Travel plan #Overseas travel #China travel #Tianjin #Tianjin travel #Trip.com review #Travel schedule
