It was once an English concession, with a total area of 1.28 square kilometers. There are houses in British, French, Italian, Spanish, Jewish and other national architectural styles. At present, it is listed as a historical building by the Tianjin Municipal Government as a small foreign building building, and is known as the "World Building Expo", which is also a witness to China's recent and modern century history. Come here to visit you can take a rickshaw, if you are lucky enough to meet a rickshaw driver who knows the history, the famous people who have lived here, and the architectural style of each foreign building, etc., then you will know a lot and know full well!
Five Avenues is a block of five roads, which are mainly linked from south to north, including Racecourse Road, Munan Road, Dali Road, Changde Road and Chongqing Road. It is the most complete foreign-style building complex in China so far, and Tianjin people call it the "Five Avenues". The Five Avenues area has more than 2,000 garden-style houses with different countries built in the 1920s and 1930s, and the construction area has reached more than 1 million square meters. Among the most typical 300-odd buildings, 89 British buildings, 41 Italian buildings, 6 French buildings, 4 German buildings, 3 Spanish buildings, and many Renaissance buildings, Classical buildings, eclectic buildings, Baroque buildings, Courtyard-style buildings and Chinese and Western-style buildings are known as the World Building Expo Garden. In 2011, the Five Avenues was designated as the Five Avenues Historical and Cultural District by the Tianjin Municipal Planning Bureau. There are not many people traveling on weekdays, so there are basically no people on each road, and people who live and work nearby feel very comfortable. The most lively place in Wujo Street is estimated to be the Minyuan Square. Basically, people who come to leisure. The shops around the Minyuan Stadium can drink tea and eat, but the shops in the underground shopping mall are basically closed. Only one supermarket is OK. There are many famous houses around, most of them are closed, and they can only be seen outside. The ticket for Qingwang Mansion is 25 yuan, and there is a crosstalk performance recently inside.
Personally feel that this kind of European-style small western-style building is worth seeing, and it is all there in the Republic of China, even earlier. It is also a confirmation of the bustling history before the liberation of Tianjin. Many houses have black marble that says protect the building, and the style is constantly changing, very interesting, one is still Wangfu, now nationalized.
There are not too many people, it feels so cool to not have to queue for a long line, the experience is great
In the small western-style building on the Fifth Avenue, think about the changes of modern history.
