In the vast north of China, there stands a city with red houses, green tiles, and rippling blue waves, as if it can take you “around the world for free.”
The style here is no less than that of Europe.
Baroque, classicism, Gothic architecture, all kinds of styles, each building seems to tell a piece of history, which makes people intoxicated.
The romance here is even better than in Japan and South Korea.
Flowers bloom all year round, literature and art are fresh, and every inch of land exudes poetry. Just take a photo, and you will have a beautiful blockbuster that will make people forget to leave.
Known as the “Architectural Museum of All Nations”, it preserves more than a thousand buildings of various types from the late 19th century to the early 20th century from both the East and the West.
Each building is a long historical scroll, allowing people to appreciate the charm of different cultures.
It has a long history, borders the Bohai Sea to the east, Yanshan Mountain to the north, and is adjacent to the capital Beijing. It is the chokepoint to Beijing by sea.
Since the Yuan Dynasty, it has been the gateway to the capital and an important town in Jifu, witnessing countless vicissitudes and brilliance in history.
This was once the shining pearl of the north, with a gathering of people and a prosperous culture.
Its delicacies are famous all over the world, including twists, steamed buns, and fried cakes. Every dish is full of praise and endless aftertaste.
This is also an important birthplace of northern folk arts. Jingyun Dagu, crosstalk, and allegro calligraphy have flourished here and become treasures of Chinese culture.
It is Tianjin, a city full of charm that makes people fascinated and forget to leave.
Take you “around the world”

Walking along the street, red-roofed Italian-style buildings and European-style sculptures come into view, and you can take a photo of them.

In front of the wishing fountain, you drop a coin and silently make a wish. At that moment, you feel like you are in the romantic scene of “Roman Holiday”.
Bei’an Bridge is a gorgeous bridge next to the Italian style area.
