Introduction:

Tianjin is one of the four municipalities directly under the central government, the third biggest city in China. It is the birthplace of modern industry of China. Nine countries opened concessions once. The Five Avenue area is dubbed as World Architecture Exhibition. The city was built in 1404. It has grown from the water transport of grain to the capital, Beijing. In 1860, Tianjin was opened as a foreign trading port. Since then, many western countries established concessions in Tianjin. Tianjin became the earliest open city in north China and the base of Westernization Movement in modern China. The military modernization started from Tianjin as well as the construction on railway, telegram, telephone, post service, mining, modern education and judicature. Tianjin became the second biggest industrial and commercial city in China at that time and the biggest Financial and trade center in north China. Its past gives the city special city scape combined with western and Chinese elements, ancient and modern features. 

         Tianjin city center is 120km (72 miles) from the city center of Beijing. The transportation has become very convenient since the bullet train from Beijing to Tianjin was opened to traffic in 2008. There are 79 trains from Beijing to Tianjin. Each trip only takes 33 minutes! If you have more than 4 days in Beijing. It's worth a visit absolutely. 

          On the tour, you will see the mother river of Tianjin, Haihe River,  the old financial street, the commercial area and living quaters developed from the old concessions, the Aster Hotel ---- the only hotel under state level protection as the witness of modern Chinese history, former residences of many historical celebrities in Five-avenue Area, such as the last emperor Puyi, the old shopping street.
