Tianjin Tourist Attractions and Tianjin Sightseeing
(Tianjin, China, CN)



A mixed selection of sights, locations and venues make up Tianjin's main tourist attractions, with a distinct cultural theme pertaining to the majority. Aside from a small amusement park within the Shuishang Park, you won't find glitzy, purpose-built entertainment centres and tourist attractions, but few visitors come to a city with as much heritage as Tianjin expecting to find these things.

Look out for the colourful Antiques Market along Shenyang Dao, the Ancient Culture Street on the northern side of Tianjin, and the many traditional Chinese tea houses, where the rituals and ceremonies are as important as the tea itself. Below are the city's most prominent tourist attractions.
