A personal relationship with Tianjin that continues to grow

Bridges are an integral part of Tianjin's scene for it is both a 'city of bridges' and increasingly a 'city of lights'! Colourfully lit up nightly the many crossings present a particular charm to the riverside surrounds. In warmer months with the Haihe ice-free, cruise boats carry sightseers for several kilometres between piers near the Railway Station and Dabeiyuan Temple.

The Haihe, or 'Sea River', is a key element in Tianjin's attractiveness, for it bisects both historic areas and the modern CBD. While no longer a major waterway there are many early photographs, for example in the extensive Tianjin Museum, that illustrate its once bustling commercial trade. Having been landscaped in recent years the riverbanks offers traffic-free strolling while watching activities that may differ between the seasons.
