Tianjin, one of China's four municipalities directly under the central government, has a rich history nourished by its river civilization. Tianjin has been an important trade and transportation hub since ancient times due to its position along the rivers, and has become a core international shipping hub in China nowadays. Haihe River, the "mother river" of Tianjin, also offers a popular travel route as many iconic landmarks located alongside, and tourists can have a boat tour to enjoy the city's stunning night view.

A variety of breakfasts is also a must-try for visitors in Tianjin, as jianbingguozi (a savory breakfast crepe), zhagao (a kind of sweet fried cake), gabacai (pancake stripe noodle) are some popular options. You can immerse yourself in the relaxing local lifestyle while enjoying the food.
