Tianjin

Tianjin(Angel)One of China's four direct-controlled municipalities (the others are Beijing, Shanghai, and Chongqing).When the Grand Canal was constructed during the Sui Dynasty, it became a relay point between sea and river transport, and played a role in transporting food from the grain-producing region of Jiangnan to Beijing, and developed greatly throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties.In the first year of the Jianwen era of the Ming Dynasty (1399), Yan King Zhu Di (later the Yongle Emperor) raised an army in Beijing, crossed the Yellow River here, and headed south to seize power. He named the city Tianjin, meaning "the port where the emperor crossed," and built a fortress there a few dozen meters southwest of the Tianhou Temple in the second year of the Yongle era (1404).The Second Opium War (1856-1860) led to the Treaty of Tianjin in 1858 and the Treaty of Beijing in 1860.The great powers, attracted by Tianjin's proximity to Beijing and its excellent port, forced it to open its port to foreign trade.As a result, Tianjin became a colonial city, and the streets filled with Western-style buildings from that time still remain today.Even if you are arriving in Beijing or live in Beijing, you can easily take a day trip there by using the high-speed train, which takes just 30 minutes one way.Five Avenues(Godaido)The Five Great Avenues, which began construction in the 19th century, contain approximately 2,000 garden-style buildings built in the 19th and 1930s from countries such as the UK, Spain, France, Italy and Germany, with a building area of ​​approximately 600,000 square meters and a site area of ​​1 million square meters.Of these, approximately 300 have been home to notable figures such as government officials and foreign presidents, and the area has been officially recognized as an "International Architecture Exposition" to showcase the city of Tianjin.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/fd/tg/g6/M06/F9/4E/CggYslcfITmAVXaUABKCSwf8rwg765_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="gs" imageid="68896916" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="671"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/10050y000000lz4xo63A9_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="gs" imageid="292375993" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="665">Zhang Yuan(Chief)Built in 1915 as the private residence of warlord Zhang Biao, it occupies a land area of ​​13,300 square meters.In December 1924, before traveling to Tokyo, Dr. Sun Yat-sen arrived in Tianjin via Japan and stayed at Zhang Garden for over a month, using it as a place to meet with important figures from the Beijing government.Shortly thereafter, from February 1925, after the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, the last emperor, Puyi, was expelled from the Forbidden City and lived in Zhang Garden for several years.The fact that these two great masters stayed in the same private residence has earned Zhang Garden a reputation as an architectural relic of considerable historical and cultural value.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/10080t000000ip6zwB85D_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="gs" imageid="274092057" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="630"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/10010t000000j1x9y5C7C_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="gs" imageid="274092057" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="630">Silence(Seien)Built in 1921, it has a floor area of ​​1,900 m2 and a site area of ​​3,000 m2 and is an important cultural property of Tianjin.Between 1929 and 1931, the last emperor Puyi moved the gardens from Zhang Garden to Jingyuan Garden and renamed it from Qianyuan Garden to Jingyuan Garden.It is now open to the public as an exhibition hall showcasing Puyi's life.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/100710000000p8vdv771C_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="gs" imageid="304485516" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="667"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/fd/tg/g5/M09/90/D6/CggYsFcEt2WAc2YtAAD6iC6dnWA211_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="gs" imageid="67941161" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="562">Thean Hou Temple &amp; Ancient Culture Street"Tenhou" is a legendary goddess who protects the safety of sea voyages.Tianhou Palace is also called Tianfei Palace or Niangniang Palace.It was originally built in the early Yuan Dynasty (1326) and was renovated and expanded during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, making it the oldest architectural group in Tianjin.Currently, the main hall, auxiliary hall, bell tower, drum tower, mountain gate, and flagpole remain.Tengo Shrine was the center of sea festivals and also a meeting place and entertainment place for the shipwrights. Not only were grand rituals and ceremonies held there, but performances dedicated to the goddess were also regularly held there.The road leading to the temple is known as "Ancient Culture Street," a replica of a shopping street from the Qing Dynasty, lined with shops selling unique handicrafts.The path is 500 metres long and has shops specialising in Yang Liuqing's New Year paintings and clay dolls, so it's fun to just stroll around.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/100s0e00000078udiDE44_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="gs" imageid="113368746" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="666"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/10040e00000078thpDAD1_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="gs" imageid="113368654" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="666"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/1007060000001v5rvA0A2_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="gs" imageid="76880667" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="667">Italian Style StreetIt is located near the Haihe River.Designed in 1902, it is home to over 200 Italianate buildings surrounding Piazza Marco Polo.At that time, it was a place where Italians living in Tianjin lived and worked.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/100u0f0000007924h8638_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="gs" imageid="113434270" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="659"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/100u060000001v91t85B5_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="gs" imageid="76883058" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="667">
