Fuxing Park is a small park in the middle of the Xian Road and Tongguan Road. The reason I write about this location because you can get a very good view of Tianjin City Skyline in this location. There are many local shop-lot nearby the park, and a five stars Hotel Nikko is right opposite the street. The park is well kept with beautiful flowers and some Chinese garden landscape.
In Chinese: 复兴公园 (Fu Xing Gong Yuan)

The Center of old town is the Gulou (Drum Tower) , surrounded by rectangle boundaries of roads. The fours horse roads are , Beima Road (North Horse Road), Dongma Road (East Horse Road), Nanma Road (South Horse Road) and Xima Road (West Horse Road). The old town district has been decorated with traditional street lights, clean and nice walkways, and some art works. It is a great place to shop for calligraphy brushes, snuff bottles, ceramics, jade, chops, jewellery, and etc.
There are several attractions you can consider visiting:
1) Gulou (Drum Tower)
2) Guangdong Guild Hall
3) Tianjin Theater Museum
4) Confucius Temple
5) Tianjin Old Town Museum
6) Old Christian Church
7) Open Opera theater
I think nothing ancient remains in this old town except the Drum tower. But it is worth to spend time here to see the locals culture.

Chifeng Road is a shopping street located in the city center. This street is very similar to Nanjing Road in Shanghai with old colonial buildings converted to shopping malls, hotels, banks, and restaurants. This is the prime area for those who love to shop for branded goods. There are several chain hotels are located here , for example the Super 8. It is ideal location to stay in Tianjin, not only it is near the shopping malls with beautiful colonial feel, but it is easy to walk to the Hai River, and near the Yingkoudao Station metro subway.

Tianjin has many buildings are lighting up at night to make the City looks beautiful to attract more visitors. Some of the new colonial buildings were newly built. The interiors are still under renovation and unoccupied,but the lighting of these buildings are on at night till 10pm. This could be the enforcement by the City Government to promote tourism. It is worth the visits of these buildings especially along Hai River. Hotels, Government buildings, Restaurants, Private Condominium Towers, Bank Buildings, and etc have turned on their lights with same color in the City.

Tianjin has a beautiful night scenes along the Hai River. The City of Tianjin has done some much to make the city looks beautiful at night. Most of the colonial buildings are lighted up together with the street lights and bridges along the Hai River. The lighting's experience is like a show to promote tourism. It could be a romantic walk, photograph opportunity, river cruising at night in Tianjin. Most of the lights will be turn off at 10:00pm.
This is my favorite night scenery in China !!

Daguang Ming bridge is one of the bridges in Hai River. You can see it from Tai'erzhuang Road, Hyatt Regency is just right next to it. It looks like a new bridge to me. It was built to look like bridges in Europe and matched those colonial buildings near the bridge . It is beautiful and something new to China.

On this road, you will see many beautiful colonial buildings. Jiefang South Park is also located there. There are schools, post offices, government buildings, hotels, restaurants, and etc along the street. We saw an Olympic Statue shown Tianjin as one of the venues for a game. One block away is the Hai River. It is a nice beautiful river walk-way, fantastic views of the bridges, and colonial buildings.
You can walk a long way up north at least till you see Tianjin Railway Station to enjoy beautiful scenery both buildings and river-walk.
