China’s third-largest urban area Tianjin is home to European-influenced neighbourhoods, fascinating historical and artistic attractions, and a thriving food scene.

Tianjin is one of northern China’s most important financial and cultural centres.

With a sprawling mix of early 20th-century European architecture and modern skyscrapers, the city is an excellent place for wandering and browsing shops. Revel in the surprisingly relaxed atmosphere, which is enhanced by a lovely riverside promenade, museums, churches and temples.
