▼Tianjin West Railway Station ▼
Unlike other tourist choices, I chose Tianjin West Railway Station as the destination. Hearing the girlfriends, the Tianjin West Railway Station was built in 1909. The renovated Xinxi Station was opened in 2011, and the Old West Station has now become a key cultural relic in Tianjin.
Take a closer look at the main body of this station belongs to the German Renaissance style. I want to see the graceful German-style small foreign building that was just built in the past. The stilts in the surrounding ordinary lanes are bound to be a beautiful scenery.
Now, after a hundred years of wind and rain, it still maintains its unique charm, which has become a landscape in Hongqiao District.
I have to say that Tianjin is a surprise everywhere. When I first arrived in Tianjin, it gave me great impact on my thoughts and vision.
First to Tianjin
From the Tianjin West Railway Station, the journey officially started. Because it was already noon when I arrived here, I took a taxi from the station to the inn to put my luggage. The fare is not much, about a dozen yuan.
Out of the West Station, I really realized what it means to be "one step at a time." The taxis traveled along the Haihe River. It seems to have passed through a hundred years. The street-style European-style Xiaoyang Building is in front of you. The city of Tianjin has become more refined after a period of time. I heard that there have been a lot of things in the past, and if I have enough time, I can definitely feel more profound.
In the taxi, I also saw the long-awaited Tianjin Eye, Jin Gangqiao, and then arrived at the inn. The beauty is not available, Tianjin is not disappointing. I think if it is riding, then we can be closer to Tianjin, Tianjin will give us a stronger feeling.
Accommodation
Youth hostels should be the first choice for travellers, where you can reach people of all colors, maybe locals, maybe the same people who travel, and may encounter unexpected stories...
▼Tianjin Yishe Inn ▼
As for why the girlfriend helped me choose this inn, I didn’t know much about it before, but after I came, I found out that the location is really good!
This building is just beside the Haihe River. It is opposite the “Jinmen” building. You can also enjoy the beautiful night view of Jincheng outside the window. If you happen to be an literary young artist with a sentimentality, then this “meditation” is still Not bad.
There is a narrow street across the street that is an Italian style street. It is very convenient to go there.
Inn
Address: 19th Floor, Junlin Building, Intersection of Minzu Road and Bo'ai Road, Hebei District, Tianjin
afternoon tour
In my travel plan, I didn't plan to go to the Italian style district, but the inn stayed next to it, so the lunch was just settled here, so you can stroll around this exotic place. If you want to experience exotic customs, come here, that's right.
I heard that this western restaurant is only one dish that has been dedicated to a dish for decades. It is worth a try.
Vegetable Salad and Canned Beef
In the Italian style, you can't help but pat, until the phone is in a hurry, you will be reluctant to put down your phone.
You can stroll through the streets and strokes every brick here, gently stepping on each road. Perhaps the road you are walking now is the road that the great men once hurriedly crossed.
This is like a European silent movie. Every frame in the movie is shown here. You are the protagonist in the movie.
Walking on and walking to the Liang Qichao Memorial Hall. There are many kinds of building protection and predecessors in various levels in Tianjin. It seems that there will be no monotony wherever you go, and there will be a historical story that will attract you.
If you are also interested in the Liang Qichao Memorial Hall, send you a picture~
The "Tianmen" under the sun is particularly dazzling, and the sparkling sea is rippling with its smiling face. Do nothing, just walk quietly on the Haihe River and feel the unique charm of the city.
In Tianjin, you can really feel that you don't have to hurry. Let yourself slow down and feel the difference that Tianjin brought to you.
After dark, the whole Tianjin is bright
The sun sets and the lights are on. After the sky is getting darker, you can call you quietly, come out and see, it’s not just the years, but Tianjin.
▼Century Clock ▼
In the evening, ride on the shared bicycle with the girlfriends (PS: remember to bring gloves), follow the Haihe East Road to the direction of Datun Bridge, pass the Daban Bridge and walk along the Haihe River, and walk to the Century Square. The Century Clock is one of the prominent landmarks in Tianjin. The first sight of the coastal river is an unprecedented shock.
This giant clock is full of metal, shining in the night scene of Jincheng, but it is beautiful. It is understood that the horoscope of 12 constellations is used around the dial. Aries is placed at the top of the 12 o'clock, because the sheep represents auspicious in China; the Libra is placed at the bottom of the 6 o'clock, because the scale represents fairness.
This blend of Chinese and Western architecture, together with the warm orange street lights, looks at the passage of time every second, and the feeling of time is so significant.
Continue to ride a bicycle, pass through the liberation bridge, and it will also make a beautiful wooden sound. Looking back, I found that the centuries-old clock stands on the banks of the Haihe River and complements the Liberation Bridge. They looked at Tianjin before, and even witnessed the changes in the 100-year and millennium after Tianjin.
Standing on the liberation bridge, the lights shone, and the Dagu Bridge broke into my eyes. The beautiful Daban Bridge stood quietly on the Haihe River.
The Haihe River is also a witness to the step-by-step landscape transformation of Tianjin from ancient times to the present. The image of the modern city is reflected in the mother river of Tianjin. It can only be seen from afar.
It is worth mentioning that at around 9 pm I was enjoying a "spectacle" by the Haihe River in the inn. The round moon just happens to be in the sky above the "Tianjin". How can I be lucky enough to appreciate this "spectacle"? Guess you will be lucky to meet?
Don't say goodbye
☆The second day☆
Tianjin’s breakfast is still worth a try. We asked the innkeeper about the nearest breakfast place and walked to the “step cloud”. Looking for good food seems to conform to a law - who goes wherever. This sentence is correct in Tianjin. Which stall is in the queue, you can see which one is delicious!
The small grinding wheel whirls around the pancake stall, and the soaked mung bean instantly becomes a thick batter. The stall owner draws a beautiful circle on the cake with freshly baked mung bean batter. The action, funny Tianjin dialect "Sister, do you want a hot potato?" This pancake is released.
Tianjin people are really warm and hospitable, a "sister", amused me, but also closer to each other. I ate the freshly baked pancakes, and I still lingered in the "sister" in my ears. I started to learn Tianjin dialect unconsciously, but after a while, my accent was gone.
Tianjin Breakfast
In fact, when you come to Tianjin for a circle, you will find that many of the alleys in Tianjin will be called "Li". When I came to the step cloud, it seemed to be the concentration of the ordinary city. The smog, the snoring, the smog of the breakfast all formed the unique morning of Tianjin.
After breakfast, starting from Stephan, you can take a 10-minute ride to Ancient Culture Street, not far away.
The ancient cultural street is equivalent to bringing together the whole fun and delicious food in Tianjin. One street is equivalent to watching the entire Tianjin Wei. In addition to Tianjin's specialty foods, there are also Tianjin crafts, allegro and comics.
If the Tianjin morning stall in the morning is full of fireworks, then this is a gathering place full of Tianjin art and wisdom. This street is full of charm.
