1. Recommended attractions

1. Characteristic Streets

The first of the five avenues is Machang Road. On this narrow road, there are nearly 300 small Western-style buildings, each with a history behind it, either famous or little-known. You can walk along Racecourse Road. When you feel tired, there are many good restaurants where you can sit down and have a meal.

Munan Road: 1,968 meters in total length. Walk 300 meters from west to east along Racecourse Road and turn right. There are many former residences of famous people, such as Dongling robber Sun Dianying, Zhang Xueliang's brother Zhang Xueming, the last emperor Pu Yi and so on.

Dali Road: The total length is 1,745 meters. There are also small Western-style buildings of different styles along the street.

Changde Road: 1,219 meters in total length, there is the former residence of Zhang Fuyu, director of the Customs Affairs Department of the Ministry of Finance of the Kuomintang government (No. 2 Changde Road), as well as a good-quality restaurant.

Jiefang North Road was an old concession and is now Tianjin Financial Street. The Tianjin branches of major banks have a place there. The buildings are also the most distinctive of the concession in Tianjin, and they all have a bit of history.

2. College campus:

Tianjin’s colleges and universities are mainly concentrated on Weijin Road, including Nankai University, Tianjin University, Normal University, etc. Personally, I think the campus of Nankai University is the most beautiful, especially in the summer. You can hide from the scorching sun in the shadow of the big trees, or you can look at the lotus flowers by the Horseshoe Lake and be in a daze.

Jin River: The other two gates of Nankai University are on Fukang Road. The smelly river in front of the gate has been transformed into a good place for small bridges and flowing water, and is now called Jin River. The long rehabilitation road from Balitai Overpass through Nankai University to the First Central Hospital has charming scenery. Recommendation: Single men and women coming to Tianjin should not linger too long around the Jinhe River at Nankai University on Fukang Road. The intimate world there may be irritating to your sensitive nerves.

Higher Education Bookstore and Balitai Cultural Market: Just across from Nanda University, you can buy CDs/VCDs/clothing and study books here. Although Balitai Cultural Market is not as good as Wantong in Beijing New World and Xidan Warwick, but if you look around carefully, you can still gain something.

Tianjin TV Tower: At the other end of Weijin Road, close to the Ning family’s house. Before the Shanghai Oriental Pearl Tower was built, it was said to be the tallest TV tower in the country. Even now, it is very unique because it is built on a lake and is surrounded by water. There’s nothing great to see in winter, but in other seasons, there’s also a water curtain movie, which is spectacular. On sunny days, there will be many people flying kites on the platform.

When hiking in Tianjin, follow the following route. One day is enough!

Route: Tianjin Station - Century Bell - Jiefang Bridge - Ancient Culture Street [Lunch] - Drum Tower - Nanshi Food Festival - Jin Street - Old Xikai Church - Five Avenues [Dinner]

Morning: Tianjin Station is a very representative building in Tianjin. It faces the Haihe River and opposite Tianjin’s famous Jiefang Road (Bank Street). You can see the recently built Century Clock and the There is the Jiefang Bridge that was used to return to the division when Tianjin was liberated. To the west is the bridge recently built in Tianjin. Walking along the bridge to the north and along the Haihe River, you can see several representative bridges. When you reach the Jintang Pedestrian Bridge, cross it (walk slowly) , there are a few pieces of glass in the middle that are pure transparent, you can stand on it and look at the cars under your feet, so cute). Across the bridge is Ancient Culture Street, the birthplace of Tianjin, with Tianhou Temple as its center. The ancient culture street is 580 meters long and is a Qing-style building. There are many shops integrating ancient, Tianjin and cultural flavors in the street. They mainly sell ancient books, antique jades, traditional handicrafts, folk items, etc. Tianjin folk art Yangliuqing Paintings, Clay Figurine Zhang Color Sculpture, Wei Ji Kite, Liu's Brick Carving, etc. all have specialized shops. The overall style is similar to Beijing Liulichang. [There are many snacks there, enjoy them, they all cost a lot of money! You can also save some belly! Because there are still exciting things! ]

Afternoon: Come out of Ancient Culture Street (return along the original road) and walk south for ten minutes until you reach the Drum Tower! If you are from the south, you can go to the Cantonese Guild Hall to feel like you are at home! And the Drum Tower was the center of Tianjin in the past. In addition to the Drum Tower, you can go east to Tianjin Food Street, where you can have a big meal again! There are many snacks. I recommend a small restaurant on the outside. It only has meat and sesame seeds and is delicious! Ask the locals what you should know! Come out of the food street and continue walking east (you can ask someone, but don’t take the car if you are not tired). It only takes 20 minutes. Jin Street is composed of Heping Road and Binjiang Road. There are many old buildings in it, and they are English, Japanese, and French. of junction.

Going straight along Binjiang Road is Lao Xikai Church, just look over at the intersection haha! You can see it after crossing the road! Lao Xikai is a French-style building with a romantic color.

Evening: Take the bus and go directly to the restaurant, because there are too many on the Fifth Avenue. I recommend Suez, there are many more! If it doesn't work, go to the outer courtyard for the cheaper price! Five Avenues is not a historical name. This residential area located in the former British Concession has never been called "Five Avenues". Since the 1960s, in order to facilitate the naming of this very concentrated Western residential building, the government department has called it Five Avenues. If we talk about the main roads, there should be six (Chengdu Road, Chongqing Road, Changde Road, Dali Road, Munan Road and Machang Road) instead of five. However, after talking about it for a long time, it became a convention and the Five Avenues became an "official name". , Wudaodao should be recognized as a regional title. It starts from Xiaobailou in the east, reaches Dayan (now Jiushi Middle School) in the west, Machang Road in the south, and Qiangzi River (now Nanjing Road) in the north. When people in the old concessions talked about houses, when they mentioned "under the Yaohua Bridge" (north of Nanjing Road), they meant lower-level bungalows. The five avenues are all high-end residential buildings. Let’s go around after dinner! Slowly let the roads and bungalows at night tell their history, stories and vicissitudes!
