Tour of Tianjin

This month we will be sharing some of the interesting places we’ve been to in Tianjin so far.

The Tianjin Eye

This is the Tianjin Eye (basically the London eye of China) Built in 2007 on a bridge across the Haihe River (Known as the mother river of Tianjin). Standing 120 Meters tall, it takes roughly 30 mins to complete a rotation. From the top of the wheel you get a great view of the buildings surrounding the Haihe, I would recommend going at night so you can see everything brightly lit up.

Tianjin’s Ancient Culture Street

This is the Ancient Culture Street. Qing dynasty style architecture. 687 meters long. Built along the side of the Haihe river. Opened in 1986. It features over 100 shops filled with traditional Chinese food and products, street performances.

The Night Market

The nearest night market it located right outside of the west gate of the campus, featuring many different food varieties from bugs to bubble waffles, you can also buy jewellery and get henna tattoos done along with many other things.

Tianjin Century Clock

Built to celebrate the new millennium the Century Clock combines western (12 astrological signs) and Chinese culture (the s rocker on the side of the clock represents the yin and yang). This clock is on the side of the Haihe river, near the subway station.

Next month will be our food blog.
