As Tianjin readies to host the SCO Summit in late August, this Bohai coastal gem is set to showcase its rich cultural legacy. Famed as the "Peking Opera Stage," "Pingju Cradle," and "Northern Folk Arts Hub," the city treasures vibrant traditional performances. It's also home to prized intangibles like Zhang's clay figurines, Wei's kites and wood carvings – national cultural gems.
