Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting the city of Tianjin in China for the SCO Summit. He was seen traveling in China's famous 'Made in China' Hongqi car. This is more than a diplomatic tour; it connects to a city known as a historic and modern emblem of China.
Tianjin is a major port city of China and has long been regarded as a convergence of trade and culture. If you’re planning a visit, you will find ancient history as well as modern skyscrapers. Let’s discover why Tianjin holds a special allure for travelers and which places are must-visit here.
Tianjin Eye, a massive Ferris wheel, marvelously set over the Hai River, stands at 120 meters high and completes a full circle in about 30 minutes. The panoramic views of skyscrapers and riverbanks are breathtaking, especially during the evening when the lights reflect beautifully on the water, making it a dreamlike attraction for tourists.
Tianjin's Drum Tower reflects slices of history. Inside, it's home to vintage photographs and artifacts that narrate tales of old Tianjin. Once outside, you're greeted by shops selling jewelry and restaurants to satiate your taste buds – enjoying history along with a shopping spree and culinary delights is quite perfect.
If you're a foodie, then Nan Shi Food Street is a must-visit. Styled like an ancient Chinese fort, it houses over 100 food stalls offering delicacies from different parts of China. Signature dishes include Gobuli steamed buns, crispy jianbing, and fresh seafood making it a food paradise for visitors.
A part of Tianjin is known as the ‘Italian Style Street’. Built in 1901, this area still cherishes the European vibe. Enjoy pizza and pasta, stroll on streets lit in colors, or relax in cafés – particularly popular among youth and couples for making lovely memories.
The Ancient Culture Street along the Hai River is often called the heartbeat of Tianjin. Here, you’ll find vibrant lanterns, traditional shops, and buildings reflecting the Ming dynasty's architecture. Temples, pavilions, and old markets are the main attractions, also serving as a popular spot for buying souvenirs.
