"Written in front"

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"

"What is your ideal in life?"

"What pursuits and dreams do you have for your life?"

I believe that everyone has often been asked the word "dream". Maybe it's because I grew up in a military compound. Don't laugh when I say my dream. I want to contribute my strength to the motherland.

I didn't become a soldier, I didn't become a scientist, I didn't become an angel in white, I didn't become a lot of people who should be. However, I think that no matter what kind of work you do, it is enough to realize your own value.

I am constantly on the road, and I am willing to share the beauty of the world, big and small, through the media. The power of the media is enormous, and it conveys all kinds of information. In the special New Year of 2020, we are experiencing a tortuous beginning, and even staying at home can contribute to society.

I'm going to keep sharing stories from my journey...  

[Talk about this trip]

I often go to Beijing. I stayed in Beijing for a few days a few years ago, and I chose to go to a city that is very close to Beijing, Tianjin.

This is the ferry that the emperor passed by, and it seems to be full of banter all the time. Maybe its presence next to Beijing will not be so strong, but Tianjin will not have the arrogance at the feet of the emperor, but the friendly naughtiness of the common people, a bit glib, but this is life.

Tianjin, where nine countries set up concessions during the peak period, has been the first choice for literati since ancient times. As a rough but literary city, it is also loved by people.

[Day 1]

Get to know this city: former residences and architectural culture of celebrities.

At Nana's house｜Enjoy a warm and comfortable time

Tianjin used to be the concession of many countries, so there are many exotic buildings. Before I got here, I decided that I must go and see these foreign houses, because the beautiful buildings are the most suitable for taking beautiful photos~ (Please forgive my photography hobby) The first stop I plan to go to is Fifth Avenue.

In fact, when I first arrived at Fifth Avenue, I was shivering from the cold, so my trip to Tianjin started with a good-looking western restaurant.

There are so many western restaurants on Five Avenues. I was initially attracted by the small and fresh environment of the restaurant I went to, but I didn't expect the food here to be super delicious.

I simply ordered some, and my favorite is their pasta, and I ate all of them.

The boiled red wine tasted good too, which made me feel warm and comfortable.

The name of this store is "Nana's House". I searched it online, but I didn't expect it to be a well-known online celebrity chain store in the local area.

Nana, an illustrator, is the founder of a hardcore online celebrity store. Nana's family started from her craftsmanship, her unique perception of beauty, and her persistence in both.

Restaurant Life Aesthetics: Live bravely and freely!

Small western-style buildings on Fifth Avenue｜Covered with the imprint of time

Come out of Nana's house, return to my travel theme, go to see these five avenues, and find the beauty you want.

The city of Tianjin has endless stories and countless styles, which are worth savoring carefully. You must not miss the Five Avenues. Every plant and tree here is covered with the imprint of time. The small western-style buildings with different styles are quiet and peaceful.

Five Avenues refer to the five roads of Machang Road, Munan Road, Dali Road, Changde Road and Chongqing Road. This block is said to be the most complete Western-style building complex in Tianjin and even China.

Five Avenues has garden-style houses with different national architectural styles built in the 1920s and 1930s. It has British, Italian, French, German, Spanish, and Renaissance buildings. , Classical architecture, eclectic architecture, Baroque architecture, courtyard architecture, and Chinese and Western architecture, etc., can really be called the World Architecture Expo Garden.

The western buildings here seem to be deleted and added at will. In addition to casualness, there is also a deep and quiet atmosphere.

Want to know which celebrity homes are there? I did a small science popularization: Former Residence of Zaizhen (Tianjin Qingwang Mansion), Former Residence of Zhang Xueliang, Old Residence (Former Residence of Gu Weijun), Former Residence of Hoover, Former Residence of Boling, Former Residence of Zhang Zizhong, Former Residence of Sun Dianying, Former Residence of Airui, Former Residence of Xu Shichang, Former Residence of Pan Fu, Duan Qirui's former residence, etc.

Almost all kinds of bungalows on Five Avenues are not open to the public. There is a place where you can take pictures and open for free: Minyuan Square.

Minyuan Square is located in the Wudao area full of strong European style. It has a history of nearly a hundred years and has witnessed the rise and fall of Tianjin's sports industry.

Today's Minyuan Square has been remodeled many times, but it still retains a strong European style. Walking in it, it seems to have returned to the era of the Republic of China.

I'm like a little girl who has forgotten the cold, walking around, listening, and patting.

Sit, stand, even want to spin~

I think it is very necessary to learn concave shape, the pose for taking pictures is never enough.

The basement floor of Minyuan Plaza is specially designed as a place for taking pictures and checking in to celebrate the New Year of the Rat.

Whether it is a wall full of blessing characters or a roof hung with LED Hanzi lamps, they all form a mix of thousands of years of cultural charm and fashion style elements, becoming the latest fashion style.

In every quaint European-style house on Five Avenues, a wall of dry creepers and grape trellises sprinkled on the balcony, these are all scattered and recorded in the author's novels.

On the second floor of Minyuan Square, there is also an exhibition hall: Heping District Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Hall. Divided into four parts: "Jin Taste", "Hundred Operas", "Medical Way" and "Work Skills", the existing intangible cultural heritage protection projects in Heping District are displayed.

The familiar old memories and old craftsmanship make every visitor deeply feel the unique historical context of Tianjin.

Astor Ambilight｜The light and shadow of the past emerge

Tianjin Astor Hotel is the only luxury hotel in China with its own museum. Its glorious history makes Astor the hotel with the longest history in China, and it is famous at home and abroad as the first hotel in China.

The Astor Museum is the only hotel museum in the country. It introduces the development history of Astor and collects various old objects used by Astor for more than 150 years. It is very important for understanding this century-old hotel and the modern history of Tianjin. help.

The Astor Museum is located on the first floor of the Astor Wing. With an exhibition hall of nearly a kilometer, more than 3,000 cultural relics and exhibits, ancient artifacts and oil paintings all tell the historical vicissitudes and little-known legends of the hotel spanning three centuries. .

The push-pull anti-theft door elevator at the entrance has a lot of background. It is the oldest elevator in China that can still be used. It has appeared in many film and television dramas.

"Lishun with virtue": Only with virtue as the foundation can everything go smoothly. Although Astor was built by foreigners, it also contains traditional Chinese ideas in its operation.

The walls of the museum also introduce the main characters of the hotel. From Yin Sende, the founder of "Mud House", to De Cuilin, the largest shareholder of Astor, the prominent "life experience" of Astor can be seen.

The old objects in the Astor Museum are all "untouched" old objects of the hotel for a century. They have actually existed in the hotel and have been used by people.

Generations of classic film and television, I wonder if it can evoke people's memories. And a unique souvenir will definitely remind you of this wonderful memory.

Dark brown wooden doors, exquisite handmade carpets, gleaming wall lamps in the shape of oil lamps, carved European chairs, round wooden tables with complicated shapes...

The more than 3,000 pieces of cultural relics and exhibits collected in this hotel make it like a historical museum that can be lived in. However, I personally feel that the tickets are a bit expensive~

When people walk into the hotel through the heavy old revolving door in 1886, what they see are wooden floors, old-fashioned fireplaces, and dazzling crystal lamps that do not belong to this era.

The radiant and luxurious space makes you feel like you are in the upper class of the year, with beautiful dance music in your ears, and the graceful dancing postures at the social ball appearing in front of your eyes.

Mr. Sun Yat-sen went north to Tianjin and stayed at the Shunde Hotel three times; Hoover, the 31st President of the United States, lived here with his new wife and made his fortune; the last emperor Puyi and Empress Wanrong were also frequent guests of the hotel when they lived in Tianjin, and they danced on the dance floor Perhaps it was Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si...

Encounters｜Celebrities in hometown

Leaving Astor and walking on the streets of Tianjin at will, there are western-style buildings everywhere, including rebuilt ones and old western-style houses that have existed for more than a hundred years, as well as military barracks, barracks and other buildings in Tianjin during the era of great powers. There are too many former residences of various celebrities, and there are cultural relics units with nameplates everywhere.

As a native of Shanxi, I noticed the former residence of Qiao Tiehan. The former residence of Qiao Tiehan was the former residence of Qiao Tiehan, a descendant of the Qiao family, a commercial and financial capitalist in Qixian County, Shanxi Province, in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. No. 70, Chifeng Road, District), also known as Qiao's Courtyard or Qiao's Mansion in Tianjin.

Not far away, I also saw the former residence of Wang Shaolian.

The Fine Art of Porcelain Houses｜Fantasy Fairy Tales

I would like to know that a small French-style building with a history of more than 100 years has been covered by more than 400 million ancient Chinese porcelain pieces, more than 5,000 ancient porcelain vases, more than 4,000 ancient porcelain plates and bowls, more than 100 Ming and Qing porcelain cat pillows, and more than 400 historical statues. What kind of fairy tale is it wrapped and decorated with stone statues, more than 20 tons of natural crystal and agate?

The Porcelain House is a building decorated with many pieces of antique porcelain pieces. It was formerly a century-old French-style old building and is one of the landmark buildings in Tianjin.

Zhang Lianzhi, the owner of this porcelain house, spent eight years designing and building such a porcelain house with crazy love, which has become a masterpiece in Tianjin, China and even the world.

There are also the words "Chinese Dream" on the porcelain house, and the golden nameplates of "upper court" and "downward court" are hung on the doorposts on both sides of the steps. "Upward court" is the entrance, and "downward court" is the exit. In the middle is a piece of white marble carved with dragons and phoenixes. I seem to have embarked on a journey of magical realism~

When you walk into the porcelain house, what you see is not only porcelain, but porcelain. The handrails of the stairs are made of porcelain tiles, the walls of the house are made of porcelain paintings, and even the bathroom is elegantly and uniquely decorated with tiles.

In the porcelain house, it really does not lose the royal dignity. The vermilion walls are just like palace walls, and the walls are patchworked with various ancient murals with porcelain tiles.

Colorful tiles can be seen everywhere on the walls to form porcelain paintings of celebrities of different ages, which are vivid and give people a beating aesthetic feeling. The dragons on the walls are vivid and imaginative.

The gothic-style chandelier is reminiscent of Wade's classic musical "The Phantom of the Opera". Against the background of dim lights, it dangles in the sky and casts terrifying shadows on the ground.

Taking pictures in the porcelain house is a super production. The interior and exterior scenes are very beautiful. If you like to take pictures, don't miss this place. It has a special flavor in winter.

Whether you know how to appreciate porcelain or not, whether you know the value of ancient porcelain or not, all tourists will be shocked by this small western-style building covered with ancient porcelain. This is a unique building, a grotesque and exquisite building, a place for you Unimaginable architecture.

Exquisite, luxurious, unique, incredible, either a lunatic or a genius, we will never understand the world of local tyrants, do friends with trypophobia feel a little flustered? Perhaps there is another kind of person in this world who suffers from intensive enjoyment, such as Zhang Lianzhi.

The gazebo on the second floor is also a very spectacular place. Although it was already shocked on the first floor, it is even more shocking to come here. The ceiling of the entire gazebo is full of ancient porcelain plates, and the circle in the middle is full of rare fish pattern plates in the world.

Look at the roof downstairs, it is full of ancient porcelain with historical value, and there are many treasures among them, any one of them is probably a treasure in other places, but here, the roof is exposed to wind, sun and rain.

Porcelain House is a unique building in the world. Its predecessor is a century-old French-style old building. Its current life is an extremely luxurious "Porcelain Beauty Building", and it is a priceless "Chinese Ancient Porcelain Museum".

The fallen leaves float on the roof of the porcelain house, and the light and shadow are mottled. The porcelain in the porcelain house has a history of hundreds of years, and now it exists in an unimaginable way. I fantasized about driving that porcelain car and traveling through the world of porcelain.

Quanyechang Street Sweep｜Indelible Memories

Quanyechang, for the old Tianjin people, there are childhood memories that cannot be erased. At that time, it was said that going to Quanyechang could buy almost everything that could be bought at that time.

Therefore, the Quanyechang area at that time was more prosperous than it is now. To be precise, it was prosperous. There were many people on weekdays, and it was even more crowded during holidays.

There are many eye-catching shopping malls and buildings in Tianjin, and there are even unbelievably small door-to-door shops, which are so narrow that only one person can fit in, or just a window, and some stores need to go up complicated steps or push through iron gates to get in. Enter. I really like to listen to the local people in Tianjin talking, with ending sounds and tones, like cross talk, very enthusiastic.

Tianjin is also very simple. It is rare to see overly luxurious and exotic clothing on the streets. The girls are even more plain-faced and rarely wear heavy makeup. Old-fashioned bicycles, which are already rare in our place, can be found everywhere in the streets of Tianjin.

When you arrive in Tianjin, you should go to Tianjin Quanyechang to have a look. It is like a "city within a city", with all kinds of things in it. Shopping malls, cinemas, theaters, teahouses, ball clubs, gardens, Chinese and Western cultures complement each other, and ancient and modern cultures collide and penetrate.

Tianjin does not pursue big and extravagant, but small and elegant, complicated and refined. Small things such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rubbings, ancient books, Yangliuqingqing paintings, clay figurines and Zhang Caishu, etc., highlight the big handwriting, big feelings, and big realm in the "small".

There are also many kinds of snacks in Tianjin, which can be found everywhere. As big as a street, as small as a window, the smell of food wafts out suddenly. Goubuli buns, pancakes, Tianjin cannabis flowers, ears and eyes...

Only a city that is mature enough does not bother to make superficial articles, and only then understands the truth that the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. Tianjin has the unique calmness and calmness of an old city.

Stroll Nanshi Food Street｜Closed in the night

Tianjin Nanshi Food Street is located in the bustling Nanshi business district in the city center. It is adjacent to Heping Road Commercial Street in the east, Nanshi Hotel Street and Clothing Street in the west, and across the street from Ancient Culture Street and Drum Tower in the north. It is one of the ten scenic spots in Tianjin. one of them.

Food Street brings together the eight major cuisines in the country, including Tianjin-style cuisine, Shanxi-style cuisine, Shaoxing-style cuisine, Muslim cuisine, foreign-style cuisine, palace cuisine, etc.

[Day 2]

Feel the city: historic and modern.

Ancient Culture Street｜Taste of China in Jinmen

In people's eyes, Tianjin is not as grand and majestic as Beijing, nor as bustling and noisy as Shanghai, nor as hot and colorful as Chongqing, but it has a unique charm and elegance.

Walking into Tianjin, it is true that we can't see the historical sites with a long history, nor the majestic and magnificent mountains and rivers, but when we come here, we can really see the rich culture of Western-style buildings, folk culture, and folk art culture. And all kinds of non-heritage culture, I feel that Tianjin has a unique urban temperament.

Ancient Culture Street, located on the west bank of the Haihe River in Nankai District, Tianjin, is a commercial pedestrian street full of Chinese, Tianjin, cultural and ancient flavors.

The pedestrian street starts from Laotieqiao Street in the north and ends at Shuige Street in the south. There is an archway at each entrance of the south and north streets, with the inscriptions "Jinmen Hometown" and "Gushang Art Garden". architecture.

Whether it is architectural style, shop decoration, plaque couplets, or various commodities sold, the whole street has a strong cultural and artistic atmosphere.

In the Ancient Culture Street, there is an ancient temple known for hundreds of years - Tianhou Temple (commonly known as "Niangniang Palace"), which is a temple where local people worship Tianhou Mazu.

The streetscapes, shops, and commodities here all have an artistic atmosphere, especially antiques, calligraphy and paintings, inscriptions, Tianjin snacks, and folk handicrafts.

Walking along the pedestrian street and looking around, there are painting clubs selling Yangliuqingnian paintings on both sides of the street, a handicraft business department selling clay figurines and colorful sculptures, Sibaotang and Chunzaitang selling the Four Treasures of the Study and celebrity calligraphy and paintings, as well as cloisonne, Various shops of double-sided embroidery, ivory jade carving, art ceramics, gold and silver jewelry.

Moreover, under the eaves and between the eaves of most shops, there is a "Su painting" with Jiangnan gardening art style. Tianjin Ancient Culture Street is also a street full of "Chinese flavor", "Tianjin flavor" and "cultural flavor".

In the architectural decoration of the facade, in addition to the painted story paintings, brick and wood carvings are also unique. Its content is extensive, and most of them have a strong folk flavor and auspicious and festive meanings.

Kneading dough figurines, also known as "mianhua", "limo" and "flower cake", is one of the traditional folk arts of the Han nationality. With glutinous rice flour as the main material, it is adjusted into different colors, and it is made into a lifelike image by hand and simple tools.

Dough sculpture artists in the old society "walked around with tears in their eyes only to make a living", carrying burdens and carrying boxes, walking around the streets, and making them on the streets. They were deeply loved by the masses, but their works were regarded as a kind of stuff. Those who cannot enter the Hall of Elegance.

But now dough figurines are regarded as handmade products, the technique of dough kneading is protected as a precious intangible cultural heritage, and all kinds of gadgets are regarded as works of art. "Artists" use their ingenious hands to cut, carve, and paint simple tools such as knives and bamboo boards into body, hands, head, face and other parts through kneading, kneading, rubbing and other actions. In an instant, a lifelike character was born.

Travel Culture Center｜The sense of science and technology belonging to Tianjin Wei

If you think the Ancient Culture Street is too lively and the Fifth Avenue is not fun, you can go to the Tianjin Cultural Center. It has cultural heritage, technological innovation, and is suitable for a day trip~

From my actual viewing point of view, the temperament of Tianjin International Fan is perfectly displayed here, and most of the pavilions combine tradition and technology. The "Moon on Water" sculpture on the fountain square uses the reflection of the water surface to form a picture full of artistic conception, just like a bright moon rising slowly from the lake.

The Cultural Center is home to many heavyweight exhibition halls, Tianjin Museum, Science and Technology Museum, Library, Art Museum, Tianjin Grand Theater and so on. The rare thing is that most of them are open for free, and you can stay all day, from morning to night.

Here, you can also see Tianjin Radio and TV Tower in the distance.

Tianjin Art Museum provides permanent and temporary exhibition space, public education and cultural leisure space, and is one of the most modern standard art exhibition halls in China. Together with Tianjin Museum, Tianjin Grand Theatre, Tianjin Library and Tianjin Natural Museum, which are also located in the cultural square area, it constitutes a group of landmark cultural buildings in Tianjin.

Tianjin Art Museum was designed by German KSP Jurgen Engel Architects, with four floors above ground and one basement. Among them, there is a basic exhibition hall on the fourth floor, all of which are closed display cabinets with constant temperature and humidity, mainly displaying permanent exhibitions planned in the hall, including selected collections, fine cultural relics, and special exhibitions of important artists.

The second and third floors are special exhibition halls, all of which are open modern exhibition halls, suitable for displaying a variety of contemporary art works and hosting large-scale cultural and artistic activities. The exhibition hall on the first floor can be used for temporary exhibitions, and can also be used as the opening ceremony hall to hold opening ceremonies, receptions, information conferences, etc.

There are also some preparation areas and open space exhibition areas in the art museum, which provide the possibility for artists to show their creativity and challenges.

After experiencing an ultimate artistic fantasy journey, you can go to the science and technology museum which is very close to the art museum. There are a variety of interesting and fun technological equipment here, but children are the most attractive, and each of his equipment is designed to clearly educate children.

By the lake in the cultural square, you can also see the sunset with a sense of technology. If you are tired of looking at the scenery, you can still go to the Vientiane City for shopping, shopping, and shopping!

Bringing a heavy plane｜Be sure to take aerial photos

I also really enjoy flying drones when traveling. Let us experience the city of Tianjin from a bird's-eye view:

Night in Italian Style Street｜Romantic Feelings

In Tianjin, there is a meandering river called "Haihe".

I don't know whether it is the sea or the river, but I know it runs through the beauty of Tianjin.

There are different bridges on the Haihe River, and the one in Yifeng District is called Jintang Bridge.

The name of the bridge, Jintang, means "as solid as gold soup". Today's Jintang Bridge perfectly combines steel bridge and glass, reflecting the harmonious beauty of rigidity and softness, simplicity and fashion.

Marco Polo Square is located in the Italian Style Street. It is named after Marco Polo, who has historical connections between China and Italy. The central square of the concession was named "Marco Polo" Square. Unceremoniously changed to our own name, the masters of this land will always be Chinese.

The Italian-style area, close to the Haihe River, was once the only Italian concession in China.

With Marco Polo Square as the center, a complete road network and public facilities have been built. The houses along the street are mainly Italian-style garden villas. Each villa is unique and completely different, and it still feels very foreign today.

The scenic spot is next to the Haihe River and has a large number of Italian-style buildings. During the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, Xinyi Street in the old Italian concession in Tianjin becomes a city that never sleeps.

Yifeng District used to be the central area of ​​the Italian concession in the modern history of Tianjin. It has a history of 100 years. It is the largest and only Italian cultural center in my country and even Southeast Asia. It almost contains buildings of different styles in different periods of Italy.

There are clusters of Italian-style small western-style buildings here, which are completely different from the bank buildings on Jiefang Road. It makes you feel as if you are in an ancient town in the hometown of Marco Polo, warm and easy-going.

There are many famous former residences of modern and modern historical figures around, such as Liang Qichao's ice drinking room, Li Shutong's former residence, Cao Yu's former residence, Yuan Shikai's and Feng Guozhang's residences, etc.

The corner pavilions in the scenic area are high and low, full of round arches and colonnades, and there are squares and gardens dotted among them, showing a strong Mediterranean style.

Walking in it is like walking in a romantic European town, where many former residences of celebrities and filming locations of film and television dramas are located here.

These European-style buildings, mixed with many Chinese-style buildings, are so harmonious and unified that they are not obtrusive at all, injecting a foreign flavor into traditional Tianjin.

The architectural style of the Italian style street is almost a village pattern in the regional planning. The central square and cross street divide the area into small squares connected by small paths in the middle.

The current Fengfeng Street is said to be the location of the best western restaurants in Tianjin, most of which are western restaurants and coffee shops.

The buildings on this street are very beautiful, with a strong exotic flavor. "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "The Family of Gold Fans" were filmed here. You can find familiar scenes in the drama here. It is very beautiful to take pictures here, so It also attracts many lovers who take wedding photos.

The architecture and sculptures here remind me of the famous Italian director Giuseppe Tornatore's "Paradise Cinema".

I don't know if the appearance of the cinema in the movie is like this, it makes people want to step into the cinema and watch a black and white movie.

The most surprising thing in Fengfeng Street is the small street. In a normal street, there will definitely be no storefronts in the small alleys. And the special shops here are really everywhere, there are always surprises around the corner.

There are clusters of Italian-style small western-style buildings here, and various former residences of celebrities, which are very suitable for taking pictures.

You can also order a bottle of beer or a cup of coffee at any shop on the corner of the street, sit back and enjoy it slowly.

If Beijing is a lady with a prominent family background, and Shanghai is an open and fashionable enchanting girl, then Tianjin is more like a celebrity who has received both traditional cultural education and influence of Western culture, exuding charming charm in a humble and low-key manner.

[Day 3]

Remember this city: street rampage and landmark check-in.

Runaway｜Jiefang North Road

The old buildings in this city retain the old Tianjin in memory. Let us use this group of photos to meet the most beautiful Jiefang North Road and unlock the code of traveling through time.

由天津站西行,过海河解放桥,便进入被誉为东方"华尔街"的解放路金融一条街了.

This is not a wide road, the sycamore trees along the road have dense branches and leaves, and the green shade covers the road. The buildings on both sides have unique shapes, Gothic, Romanesque, Romanesque, Germanic, Russian classical and other medieval Western architecture, allowing you to appreciate the charm and interest of foreign countries.

各种名目的银行,信用社,信贷社,证券交易所,信托公司,投资公司,保险公司,金银首饰店等鳞次相比,让您眼花缭乱,目不暇接.您不得不相信,解放北路是东方的"华尔街",是最富有的街道.

The southern half was originally Victoria Road in the British Concession in Tianjin, and the northern half was Da France Road in the French Concession in Tianjin. On both sides of Jiefang North Road, there are old buildings bearing the clouds of the past: Gothic, Romanesque, Romanesque, Germanic, Russian classical and other medieval Western architecture, full of exotic style and taste.

Feel the prosperity of the streets and awaken those forgotten urban memories.

Old Stories｜Postal Museum

There is a museum that records the development of China Post and the story of Tianjin and post, and here is Tianjin Post Museum.

Tianjin Postal Museum was built on the former site of the Qing Dynasty Post Office. This European-style building was historically the location of the Customs Post Office and the "Da Qing Post Office" when the Qing Customs tried to run postal services. Tianjin Customs Dial Sida Bureau", which was the headquarters of the Customs Post at that time.

The "Great Qing Post Office" building is a precious architectural relic in the history of modern Chinese postal services and a historical witness to the establishment and development of modern Chinese postal services.

In this museum, time seems to be frozen, and the stories of Tianjin and postal services are depicted here...

In the former Financial Street｜Looking at the Financial Museum

In Tianjin, there are many museums that you can visit without spending money, such as Textile Museum, Art Museum, Shoe Museum, History Museum, Automobile Museum... Among them, there is also a niche Tianjin Finance Museum.

Tianjin Finance Museum is an old building with a long history. Although the building is simple and simple, there is something amazing inside!

This is the only professional museum in China that comprehensively introduces China's financial history, displays financial knowledge from a full perspective, and connects the current situation and future of the development of the financial industry.

The museum uses various display methods such as sound, light, electricity, film, and objects to fully and clearly introduce the historical development track of finance to the audience. The museum houses a large number of currencies, financial bills and other financial objects in various periods in China. The museum's exhibitions are divided into five parts: financial history and current situation, finance and us, Chinese currency history, financial crisis and financial tsunami special exhibitions and special exhibitions.

For those interested in finance, this museum is a real house of gold. There are not only gold, but also precious banknotes and financial exhibits with historical and commemorative significance. If you seriously visit it, it will take half a day!

Century Clock｜The Fusion of Time and City

Whenever I go to a city, as long as I have time, I like to find the most representative place to go around. The reason why this city is different from other cities.

The Century Clock is a large-scale iconic city sculpture building built in the square in front of Tianjin Railway Station to welcome the new century. At 00:00 on January 1, 2001, a melodious bell rang in front of the Jiefang Bridge in the square in front of Tianjin Railway Station, ringing the bell to welcome the new century.

From that moment on, the Century Clock has become one of the most attention-grabbing landmarks in Tianjin accompanying the new century.

This century clock fully integrates time and space, classic and modern, power and beauty, man and nature, and inspires people's endless reverie and imagination.

Tianjin Eye, a landmark building｜Looking up at happiness

It is said that each plate of the Ferris wheel is full of happiness, and when people look up to it, they are looking up to happiness.

From the day Tianjin Eye was "opened", happiness began to overflow. It watched over Tianjin, a city of hope, and witnessed its constant changes.

Tianjin Eye is the only Ferris wheel on a bridge in the world, and it is also one of Tianjin's landmark buildings.

I took the camera and used a strange perspective to freeze the beautiful picture of Tianjin Eye~

This romantic Ferris wheel, accompanied by lights and the lake at night, will exude its unique romance. I didn't go up to take the Ferris wheel, but I think it's the best way to walk around the lake from its side.

The Ferris wheel has always been a place for Internet celebrities to take pictures and check in. Coupled with the combination of the lake surface and the night view of Tianjin, you must go here when you come to Tianjin!

At Tianjin West Railway Station｜The end of this journey

The design of Tianjin West Railway Station uses the image of circular arches and radial louvers to express radiance, implying the bright prospect and bright future of Tianjin's urban development.

The 57-meter-high semi-circular space facing the square is combined with the structure and has a sense of rhythm. Through the treatment of surface texture, it appears rich and delicate. The white woven mesh roof steel structure is also one of the landmark buildings in Tianjin.

This Tianjin trip ends here~

[Strategy]

Some small tips that come to mind~

摄影&穿搭

<摄影器材>

SLR Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and mirrorless Canon M6.

<拍照技巧>

1. Tianjin can be said to be a place where you can shoot exotic films without going abroad. You must make good use of the beauty of architecture and grasp the composition, light and perspective.

2. Think in advance how to dent the shape you want~

<穿着搭配>

It is recommended to bring long skirts and cheongsams, which are very good for filming! Because I am afraid of the cold, I wear very bloated (sad + regret)...

美食&住宿&交通

<美食>

In Tianjin, local delicacies must be tasted. In addition to the well-known Tianjin Goubuli steamed buns, ear-eye fried cakes, and 18th Street Mahua, there are also Zhangji Nuts, Xiaobao Chestnuts, Stone Gate Vegetarian Steamed Steamed Buns, and pastry pastries. Boil small fish and other special snacks. Especially Tianjin's unique breakfast culture, breakfast with pancakes and fruits alone will make you feel unsatisfied, and you can ask for a bowl of crispy rice.

<住宿>

There are all kinds of star-rated hotels in Tianjin. I found that the Xi'an Hotel here is quite popular, so I tried it. The hotel is very clean, the facilities and decoration are relatively modern, and I quite like their blue color.

<交通>

The traffic in Tianjin is very convenient. It has Tianjin Binhai International Airport; the railway is located at the hub connecting the inside and outside of the customs, and can reach major cities across the country, and there are also multiple bus passenger stations that can lead to the whole country; the city's transportation includes buses, subways, light rail, taxis, etc. It is very convenient to ride and transfer.

Tips:

1. If you want to go to many scenic spots that charge fees, it is recommended to use Ctrip All-in-One Ticket, which is really super cost-effective. You can choose a one-day tour or a multi-day tour, allowing you to enjoy the most favorable price for a one-ticket tour in Tianjin~

2. When visiting some museums or scenic spots, you must know the business hours and remember to bring your ID. (Small regret: I couldn't check in the Republic of China Story Museum because I didn't arrange a good time. Here you can wear a cheongsam to take pictures of the Republic of China)

3. Tianjin Eye will be repaired every Monday.

4. Shopping should be rational, I believe everyone can distinguish what is commercial hype.

5. The weather in Tianjin is similar to that in Beijing, with four distinct seasons.

[about me]

Nothing but handsome.

This is a little story from my years ago, and I may not be able to go out to continue my journey recently. A storm is coming, let us put it on hold for a short time, and it is also a rare opportunity for us to stop on the road, calm down, look at ourselves, and see the world that we have never felt with our hearts.

The storm will eventually pass. I believe that after the storm, there will be a rainbow in addition to the clear sky.

"Motherland, come on!"

"Come on, everybody!"

"Me, come on!"
