Travel to Tianjin, China

Today we will travel to Tianjin. Literally meaning “where the emperor crosses the river,” Tianjin, China is a place of increasing popularity. Many tourists enjoy a visit to Ancient Culture Street or Gu Wenhua Jie. Here, you can browse through numerous shops and stalls to find all sorts of knick knacks and souvenirs. While exploring the city, stop and admire the beautiful Haihe River, dubbed the “mother river” of Tianjin. Have the kids with you? They will love a trip to the Haihe Fountain Amusement Park! Also, be sure to stop by Dule Temple, home to an ancient multi-storied pavilion. If you are in the mood to travel outside of the city, travel to Mt. Panshan Scenic Area. Located 68 miles outside of Tianjin, this lush mountain area will take you away from the hustle and bustle of city life. With numerous ancient temples surrounded by jade pine trees, Mt. Panshan will surely take your breath away!

RealTraveler Noctroler tells of a recent experience in Tianjin:

“To our delight, we realized that the Olympic torch relay was passing through Tianjin and it was only a few blocks away from our condo. Matt, my brother Davy and I walked towards the relay hoping to catch a glimpse of the event. It was only 8 in the morning but it already felt like 30 degrees (By the way, there is blue sky in China!!!!). We walked for about 30 minutes and found ourselves surrounded by beautiful European architecture left behind from the European concessions in the area” (more…)

Continuing the adventure, Noctroler shares:

“After breakfast we set out to find a catholic church that Joanna’s grandmother worked in when Joanna was a child living in Tianjin, and after about a 20 minute walk, we arrived at Xikai (St. Joseph) Catholic Cathedral. The Cathedral, built in 1917, looked out of place lying between a modern mall and towering skyscrapers, yet its concession era architecture was stunning both inside and out. It was nice to take a moment to rest inside, as it we found it very quiet and calm within the cathedral itself” (more…)
