Are all the houses in the old city of Tianjin demolished except the Drum Tower?

classification: region > > Tianjin

Description of the problem:

From the satellite map, it seems that there is loess between the south road and the north road. By the way, I am not from the urban area and I don't know the situation.

Analysis:

The old city hall in Tianjin is not large. Not only from the aerial photos, but even the latest version of Tianjin map clearly shows that it is a "blank".

The real large-scale demolition of the old city box should be earlier than 23, but after that, basically speaking, the old city box was "leveled". Recently, I saw that the street in the south gate on the east and west sides of the renovated "Drum Tower" was also renovated as an expressway. In this way, I am afraid that the historical features of the old city hall will be completely destroyed.

If the "Drum Tower" is the only cultural relic left, in fact, in the eyes of our orthodox Tianjin people, this so-called reservation seems to have little meaning: everything around it has been demolished, and a lonely thing is caught in the middle of the expressway, which is obviously "destruction".

From the perspective of the whole original urban area of Tianjin, there are more old buildings now, near Xiyuzhuang, Hongqiao District. But it will be soon, because I can see from a bridge (at the ear gate) that the background behind it is clearly "high-rise buildings" (if it is not only for visual effects). There are fewer other places, and they have all been demolished, not just the Drum Tower. However, new buildings have been built elsewhere, and the land price in the old city is extremely high, so it is not so easy to "regenerate".

Maybe what you said about "loess" is not unreasonable-I wonder if you are watching an aerial photo of Google Earth. I've seen this one. It's a little bare. But now, these abandoned lands are generally covered with lawns, in order to prevent being laughed at by any foreigners from other places. If the aerial photos were taken in recent months, they should all be "green"!

Of course, on the whole, Tianjin's current construction is also very good, and its scale is unprecedented. In this "great development" period, Tianjin naturally gained a "resounding" title-"construction site city", or was jokingly called "ruined city". It is estimated that in the first half of 28, everything will take on a new look, but the old city hall will never come back.
