It is a beautiful church built by French Jesuit missionary in the 190s.
Located at the end of pedestrian mall street, you can see it from a distance. There is a wonderful fountain in front of the church but across the road.
There are 4 Chinese characters welcoming everyone to "ome in for a look"
It still an active church and worth going in for a look. One of the legacies of Western Allied forces occupying in China at the beginning of the 20th century until World War 2. Address: Dushan Road. Downtown Tianjin.

It is also a great way to get from one end of Tianjin downtown to the other end by strolling along this motor free road. Of course, you can choose to sit on one of the electric trams that ply on these pedestrian streets.
You cannot really have been to Tianjin unless you drop by here for a look. There is a post office near the junction of He Ping and Bin Jiang Streets. Address: He Ping Street, Downtown Tianjin

Tianjin has been a major river port where several rivers meet here in a confluence and flow into "Haihe" river. "Haihe" means to "Ocean River" as Tianjin is located 50km from the sea.
What is fascinating is not only the number of bridges of over 20 in the downtown area but the unique designs each bridge - both traditional and modern.
Several of them have pedestrian walkways and you can get to the middle of the river to take your photographs and see the views of both sides of the river. The main train station is on the opposite side than downtown Tianjin.

Tianjin prewar was divided into different zones for the British, French, Italian, Russian, Japanese, American, etc.
I spent most of my time exploring the French quarters as it was largest, most preserved and easiest to find. The restored area looked like a Hollywood film set.
The main buildings in the commercial sector are now occupied by banks. Do enter into the bank and appreciate the interior with high ceilings and stained glass windows. The security guards are on the lookout and so I did not bother to try to take the photos inside.

Every local Chinese tourist will make it a point to visit this restaurant which is easy reach from the main pedestrian shop street. In there you will be see photographs of previous visits of famous Chinese political leaders.
While there is not much to do except to order the famous dumplings and said that you have been there. Or just take your photo outside this "establishment".
Nowadays, you can find Gou Bu Li (GBL) restaurants all over Tianjin, Beijing, China as well as a popular dish in Chinese restaurants worldwide. And tis is where it started. Address: Downtown Tianjin

This eye-catching building in downtown Tianjin will surely turn heads.
It is built on large potteries. It evokes the same brazen appeal like the famous Gaudi buildings of Barcelona.
There is a small admission to see the inside which is like a museum and souvenir shop for all kinds of potteries. Or just take a photo closeup through the "pot". Address: Downtown Tianjin

There are major deparment stalls especially at its corner with Nanjing Lu where many bus lines ply.
It is easy access to Xikai Church and Gou Bu Li original restaurant. You see local Tianjingers as well Chinese tourists shopping or finding a place to have lunch or a quick snack. There is no shade and so can be hot. So cool off by going into the airconditioned shops now and then. Address: "Bin Jiang Dou" Road, downtown Tianjin

Once on a sunday morning I took a hike,walk along the river.Very soon I ran into a beautiful,lovely little park with sculptures of different classic composers.On sunday you can watch a lot of people(mainly with bikes)meeting there.I was amazed to find the sculpture of Franz Liszt!!!It is a lovely,peaceful,small park next to the river.There is no adress for this park on a map.
Follow the river from the railwaystation to the entrance,crossover to the Golden street.Instead of crossing the bridge continue walking right side from the river -direction Ancient Culture street.Very soon you see the small park with all the sculptures.Beethoven,Mozart....even Haydn and Liszt!!Lovely!!!!Enjoyed it a lot!Very peaceful and relaxed atmosphere there on weekend.And Strauss!!!!!I love this music!!!!Felt very,very homesick there..... Directions: next to the river,at the center,entrance to Golden street coming from the railway station

On both sides of the rivers, there are pleasant pedestrian walks and to cycle on if you have rented a bicycle.
In the late afternoon, it is cooler and some sections are shaded with trees while others are better to go when the sun is out.
There are not many shops yet along the pedestrian walks and hopefully they will flourish as tourism increases in this under-rated tourist destination. I am not quite sure how safe it is at night but follow the local crowd and stay in the well lit areas. Address: Along Haihe river in downtown Tianjin

Zhou En Lai studied in the Tianjin Middle School, then in universities in Japan and later in the Nankai University of Tianjin. Hence, it is no surprise that his memorial is located here.
By contrast, Chairman Mao has a masoleum in the middle of Tiananmen Square in downtown Beijing.
This memorial located near the Tianjin Tower at a lakeside park. There is a bus that comes in this direction and a 500m walk. Do come early as the memorial closes early around 3-4pm. Address: Near Tianjin Tower
