Although Tianjin is interesting, you must avoid mines first! Especially during the Chinese New Year, these tips for avoiding pitfalls can really save lives. Check them out in advance to avoid pitfalls! 1⃣The overall pace of Tianjin is relatively slow. 2 days in the city and 1 day in the Binhai New Area are enough. A shared bicycle can cover all the attractions in the city. 2⃣The Tianjin Eye is a landmark building. It is worth seeing both during the day and at night. The scenery is different. I think it is better to take a night tour of the Haihe River if you sit on it. Of course, this depends on personal preference. 3⃣The Fifth Avenue is not just 5 streets, it is quite large and you can rent a bicycle. It takes about 2-3 hours to walk around. There are small Western-style buildings everywhere, which is very beautiful. 4⃣The entrance of the Porcelain House is always crowded. You don’t need to buy a ticket to go in, just check in at the door. 5⃣Don’t take the horse-drawn carriage on Fifth Avenue, it’s expensive. It’s more pleasant to ride a bicycle slowly. When you go to the Ancient Culture Street, don’t miss the Tianhou Temple behind it. Entry to the Tianhou Temple is not allowed after 4:30 pm. 6⃣ The Ancient Culture Street has a strong commercial atmosphere and is a check-in spot for many tourist groups. It’s quite boring anyway! 7⃣Don’t take photos when you see puppets like "Sun Gekong" in the Ancient Culture Street, as they will be charged! 8⃣ You must take the double-decker tour bus in the Italian style area! Whether it’s day or night, the photos are beautiful! The bus starts with 8 people and will visit all nearby attractions, including the Tianjin Eye! 9⃣ Just take pictures of the Porcelain House from outside, there is really no need to spend money to go in and see it. 🔟Remember to make an appointment in advance to go to the Tianjin Eye Ferris Wheel at night, especially during holidays! Couples should go there with caution as there are metaphysical factors involved. 1⃣1⃣You must go to Haihe River at night! There are different types of cruises including sightseeing, dining, performances, etc., and the prices are also different. You can make a reservation at "Tianjin Haihe Cruise" with the same name GZH. 1⃣2⃣You must listen to crosstalk when you come to Tianjin. Tickets to Mingliu Teahouse (Xinhua Road Branch) are 80 yuan. You can book tickets on the official website~ 1⃣3⃣When you arrive in Tianjin, you must get up and eat breakfast even if you have to climb! Jianbing, Guobacai, fried cakes, dried cakes, and rolls, everything is delicious! If you don’t know where to eat, you can go directly to the northwest corner. Most of the people queuing are locals. 1⃣4⃣ Use zfbao to take the bus in Tianjin. It has travel options and there is no need to change coins. 1⃣5⃣ You can use the "Tianjin Metro" A fart for the subway and you don’t have to queue up to buy tickets. 1⃣6⃣Taxis may take a detour, so try to choose online car-hailing, subway or riding a bike. 1⃣7⃣ People in Tianjin call you "Big Sister", it doesn't mean you are old, it's just a verbal name~ 1️⃣8️⃣ It is more convenient to stay in Wudadao when visiting Tianjin. Accommodation must be booked in advance. The price of last-minute booking is 😦 scary.

The Haihe River is the largest water system in North China and one of China's seven major rivers. Five tributaries—the North Canal, Yongding River, Daqing River, Ziya River, and South Canal—converge from the north, west, and south in Tianjin, forming the Haihe River. Its main stem stretches 73 kilometers from Jingang Bridge in Tianjin, flowing eastward through the urban area to the Haihe Tidal Barrier, eventually emptying into the Bohai Bay at Dagukou. Known as Tianjin's "Mother River," the Haihe boasts picturesque scenery along its banks, making the Haihe River cruise an essential activity for both locals and visitors to Tianjin.
