Here, let Beidou show you the top ten unpopular scenic spots in Tianjin and let you walk around in your spare time.
Jiefang North Road 1
Jiefang North Road, formerly known as Dafa Road, Zhongjie Street and Beiyang Financial Street, is not spacious. It starts from jiefang bridge of Haihe River in the north and ends at Xuzhou Road in the south. It was the financial street in the Republic of China, which was somewhat similar to the Bund in Shanghai and was known as the Oriental Wall Street.
This road is paved with gray masonry, with tall trees on both sides, lush foliage and shady trees. There are unique buildings in the street, such as Gothic, Roman, Germanic, Russian classical and other medieval classical western buildings, so that you can enjoy exotic customs without going abroad.
According to records, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was a treasure trove of geomantic omen near the East Railway Station and Haihe River, and it was favored by financiers from all over the world because of its superior geographical position. So regardless of nationality, financial institutions of their respective countries have been set up here, including various banks, credit cooperatives, stock exchanges, trust companies, investment companies, insurance companies, gold and silver jewelry stores and so on. There are also some well-known large enterprises, which are dotted and dazzling.
There are many buildings left here, including Daqing Post Office, Kailuan Mining Bureau, Macquarie Bank, HSBC Bank, Yokohama Zhengyin Bank, Sino-French Industrial Bank, Salt Bank, Western Art Museum, Lishunde Hotel and other century-old buildings. Walking on this street is a kind of enjoyment, which makes you feel inexplicably far away from the noisy city.
Daqing Post Tianjin Bureau is a landmark preserved by China Post in modern times. It has a rectangular three-story building, blue brick walls, arched doors and windows, and exquisite carved brick columns on the facade. 1878, German Deterlin of Tianjin Customs and Taxation Bureau founded Tianjin Customs Hakodate in Xinhai New Customs Office, which was the earliest postal agency in China. In July of the same year, the first set of stamps "Dalong Stamp" was issued to the whole country. 1884, he moved into this building for office. 1897 was renamed Daqing Post Office. 19 12, Daqing Post was changed to Chunghwa Post, and now it has become Tianjin Post Museum.
Kailuan Mining Bureau, the most magnificent office building in Tianjin in modern times, was founded in 192 1. It adopts strictly symmetrical classical three-stage design, with dignified and heavy shape and elegant indoor and outdoor decoration, and its shape has become a masterpiece of European classical architecture. Kailuan Mining Bureau, also known as the source of China's coal industry, has effectively promoted the rapid development of Tianjin's industry.
Yanhang, founded in 1928, was then the headquarters of Yanhang. Designed by an architect in China, this building is the only modern building recorded in Fletcher's architectural history. According to historical records, in 19 15, the bank was founded by national capitalists and its head office was located in Beijing. In the same year, Tianjin Branch opened, and was named Salt Bank because of its close relationship with salt affairs.
There are many characteristic buildings on Jiefang North Road, which are simply too numerous to count. Every building has its own past and wonderful scenery along the way. Looking at so many western buildings, the humiliation of that year is gone forever, and only these buildings have witnessed those stories.

2. Shilongxia
Shilong Gorge is a mysterious canyon, where vines are entwined, ancient trees form forests, strange peaks are steep, and streams are gurgling, which is a combination of male, strange, dangerous, stern and beautiful, with beautiful scenery and picturesque scenery.
It is said that the name of Shilongxia has a touching story. Under the Gui Long Bridge, there is a stone dragon, half hidden in the clean water, running against the current. Legend has it that this is the little dragon of Longba who wants to jump out of the Longmen, and just got out of the Longmen, he became a carp. Xiaolong regretted it and quickly jumped back to Huilong Baer. Although he became a dragon again, he was exhausted and could no longer go upstream, and immediately became a stone dragon in the water.
In Shilongxia Scenic Area, there are two parts, the top of which is called Cuishoupo, with strange stones, longevity trees and large mixed forests as the highlights. Strange flowers, exotic grasses and ancient forests grow on the hillside, which makes the hillside full of green.
Below are mainly bridges and waterfalls. Stone arch bridges, cable bridges, plank roads and jumping stones are exquisitely laid out, and waterfalls and clear pools are numerous, which makes people fascinated and dazzled.
On both sides of the canyon, the peaks stand like two Wolong mountains, and there are many landscapes along the way, mainly including Wu Caishen and the Black Dragon, rock paintings, black dragon praying for rain, Longtan, turtle back mother, golden cicada looking pool, stone turtle peeping, Tianyaochi Waterfall, Baiyao Garden and so on.
Shilongxia Waterfall is spectacular, with a drop of nearly 100 meters. The waterfall pours down beautifully, and it feels like pouring pearls of all sizes into a plate of jade. The ecology along the way is also very good, naturally quiet.
As the most eye-catching landscape of Shilong Gorge, it is still the brook here, which is crystal clear and endless. When tourists pass by it, they can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also hear the sweet whispers.

3. Music Street
Tianjin Music Street, located in Bawei Road, Hedong District, with a total length of more than 300 meters, is centered on Tianjin Conservatory of Music (North and South Yards) and has 108 stores along the street. All storefronts adopt simple European style, with ivory as the main color, following the principle of from shallow to deep, showing the elegance and nobility of simple European style and becoming a beautiful scenery in Tianjin.
At the entrance of the street, the first thing you see is the brand of Tianjin Music Street. On the wall, there are graffiti related to music. Avant-garde fashion design, bright colors, so that visitors instantly immersed in the artistic atmosphere.
On this straight street, there are many shops related to music. You can find all kinds of musical instruments, including traditional Chinese musical instruments and western musical instruments, and you can also learn some music-related knowledge, such as Zhang Musical Instrument, a famous intangible cultural heritage in Kinmen.
Here, there are also beautiful scenery. Statues of many famous musicians and artists are erected in the street, such as Le Sheng Beethoven, composer Mozart, and people's musician Xian Xinghai. Exquisite and vivid craftsmanship is a good place to take photos as a souvenir.
Because Music Street is based on Tianjin Conservatory of Music, there are many students coming and going, buying musical instruments, renting clothes and so on. Looking at young figures and exquisite shops has added a lot of vitality to the streets.
Statues, graffiti and exquisite musical instrument shops make Music Street full of vitality. Occasionally, you can see music lovers playing in the street, and you can also see musical instruments from all over the world, as well as all kinds of novel gadgets, which makes the whole street full of fun.
This music street has a strong artistic atmosphere. In addition to the unique scenery, art students carrying musical instruments can be seen everywhere, as well as food desserts such as Kawamachi Taro and Yago _ Music Western Restaurant, which can make you feel the warmth and romance of a petty bourgeoisie. In Music Street, there is the No.1 Central Primary School in Hedong District of Tianjin, which is said to be one of the best primary schools in Tianjin.

4. Drum Tower
Tianjin drum tower, one of the three treasures in Tianjin, is located in the center of Tianjin, surrounded by four roads in the southeast and northwest, forming four areas: northeast corner, southeast corner, northwest corner and southwest corner. Four gates and watchtowers are built in the southeast and northwest, as well as the sections of Gulou East Street, Gulou South Street and Gulou North Street that are still in use today.
This drum tower has three floors. The first floor of the building is a square platform made of bricks, which is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It leads to four old streets in the east, west, north and south through four arched doorways. There are two floors on the platform. The lower floor is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva and Notre Dame, as well as martial artists Guan Yu and Yue Fei. There is an iron bell weighing 300 Jin hanging upstairs, so it is called Drum Tower, which is actually the bell tower.
The Drum Tower and the nearby commercial streets are antique buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with blue bricks and tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, antique, making the modern city a block full of traditional cultural charm. As a landmark building of Tianjinwei, it was once deserted and prosperous in history. Today's Drum Tower was rebuilt in 2000, and the main body is a steel-concrete structure, a sumeru seat and a wooden building shape. This is a bold attempt to combine modern technology with traditional architecture.
Some people say that the Drum Tower is the center of Tianjin, and Tianjin is a city that has been spreading around with the Drum Tower as its origin, so the Drum Tower is defined as the birthplace of Tianjin. In any case, today's Gulou Commercial Street is indeed cross-shaped, starting from Chengxiang East Road in the east, reaching Chengxiang Middle Road in the west, reaching Chengxiang Middle Road in the north and reaching Chengxiang Middle Road in the south, showing a rare sight of Dapeng spreading its wings.
When you climb the Drum Tower, you can see the collision between classical and modern, and the mutual concealment between tradition and fashion. The ancient rhyme of Ming and Qing dynasties and high-rise buildings are in the same world, which brings great impact to vision. Being in it, there is a little anxiety, a little touch, and more gratitude.
The whole commercial street is divided into three parts. North Street is the antique city and the art market of the Golden Pavilion. East Street is a boutique shopping street; Nanjie is an oriental city that never sleeps, with traditional folk culture, commerce and catering in Tianjin. There are both traditions and fashions, allowing visitors to experience the traditional Tianjin Wei customs through modern play, shopping, eating and drinking.
There are some interesting small shops on both sides of the street, such as clay figurines, sugar blowers, traditional paper-cuts, dolls and gourds. Looking at these familiar and unfamiliar gadgets, I feel that this is the ideal market.

5. Huangye Village
Huangye Village, hidden in the southwest corner of Xigu Park, is surrounded by small rivers, quiet ancient trees, arched buildings, watchtowers, stone pagodas, three or two stone benches and four or five houses, which constitute an elegant pastoral landscape.
Some people may ask, isn't this a city park? How can it be an ancient village? In fact, the history of Huangye Village is much earlier than that of Xigu Park, with Huangye Village first and Laoxigu later. It is only because Huangye Village was included in the construction of Xigu Park that Huangye Village in Xigu today came into being.
Xigu, one of the 72 houses sold in Tianjin, was originally named Huangye Village. In the book "Strange Tales of Drunken Tea" in Qing Dynasty, it was recorded that Xigu was originally named Huangye Village, and all the old people knew it, but others didn't know it, which meant that only some old people knew Xigu was originally named Huangye Village. During the Qianlong period, it is better to write a poem of Huangye Village than to leave a residual cup of cold baked virtue. There is also a local saying, I knew there was Xigu in Tianjin, so why did people go to Jiangnan? You can see how charming the scenery here is.
Huangye Village is dominated by northern dwellings, with blue bricks, blue tiles, farmhouses, quadrangles, arch bridges, crown-shaped green trees, long old streets, corner pavilions, towers and corridors, which perfectly reproduce the water transport life scene and regional characteristics of Xigu depicted in Duyun Map of Liuhe, and fully demonstrate the rich historical and cultural heritage of Tianjin.
The tallest building in the village is an ancient tower. I wonder what year it was made. According to historical records, there are temples, pagodas, water and bridges here, just like the scene of monks returning to the temple in Huangye Village and people calling boats at the sunset ferry. Does it have a unique charm?
Nowadays, although prosperity is no longer there, tranquility is even better than in the past. Now there are stage, martial arts hall, stone bench, stone table, stone mill, stone road and ancient ginkgo tree. Although it is the corner of peace, it is a quiet place in troubled times, and there is a hole in the sky.
This fresh and refined small village, because few people know and come, is more like a pure land hidden in a bustling city, an elf left in the long river of years, waiting for a destiny takes a hand.

6. Dongli Lake
Dongli Lake is connected by East Lake and Lihu Lake. Generally speaking, Dongli Lake is actually a general term for the two lakes. It is one of the eight tourist attractions and seven nature reserves in Tianjin. It is famous for its vast water surface and rich ecological geothermal energy, and is known as a small freshwater ocean.
East Lake is a deep transformation on the original basis, with beautiful environment and winding coastline. Lihu Lake is small and located on the west side of East Lake. Many fish are cultivated in the lake, and dozens of birds thrive here. Dongli Lake is connected with Jinzhong River, Yongding New River and Xindi River, and the dragon-shaped water system formed highlights the unique ecological beauty.
The geothermal resources here are very rich, which is the source of the northern tropics in China. Geothermal water is beneficial to the human body and can strengthen the body. There are many hot spring hotels by the lake, where you can soak in hot springs, which is a good place for health.
There is a scenic avenue by the lake, with weeping willows and ginkgo trees on both sides, and some maple trees are mixed in it. Every late autumn, the temperature drops, the leaves turn yellow and colorful, just like a vivid oil painting.
There is also a lotus pond in Dongli Lake. In summer, a clear water lotus is in full bloom, swaying in the breeze, bringing some tranquility to the noisy city. Every time I come here, I just feel excited and refreshed. It's not that I crave the world of mortals, it's the fragrance of lotus that makes me relaxed and happy.
In fact, the most beautiful place in Dongli Lake is the trail around the lake, with lush vegetation and shady trees. Walking on the path, facing the breeze, the lake is like a mirror, sparkling, water and sky are the same, and the lake is glimpsed.
In addition, there are water trapeze, water cable bridge, water cabin, speedboat, motorboat and other recreational projects by the lake, as well as ice sail, ice cart, sleigh and other ice projects in winter, providing tourists with one-stop services of eating, living, traveling and entertainment.

7. Shi Jia Courtyard
Shi Jia Courtyard, located in the center of Yangliuqing, was originally the residence of Shi Shiyuan, one of the eight famous houses in Tianjin in the late Qing Dynasty, covering an area of more than 6,000 square meters, including a construction area of 2,900 square meters. The main hall, facing south, consists of twelve courtyards in Ming and Qing dynasties, which can be compared with Shanxi Qiaoyuan and is known as the first house in North China.
Shi yuanshi county was famous in Tianjin in the late Qing Dynasty, with strong economic strength, and was also the richest man in western Tianjin at that time. As the richest man in western Shanxi, he naturally attaches great importance to his living environment, and this Shi Jia compound was built by Shiyuanshi. The whole courtyard has brick and wood structure, exquisite stone carving, luxury and nobility, which is a typical architectural style of northern quadrangles.
Facing the gate is a spacious tunnel which forms the central axis of the compound. There are five gatehouses on the central axis, which gradually rise from south to north, implying a step-by-step promotion. In addition, each door has three steps, which is a row of three steps.
There are five courtyards on the north and south sides of the central axis. The East Courtyard is the inner courtyard with three sets of quadrangles, which are mainly used by people. Equipped with study, accounting room, living room, mandarin duck room, bedroom, etc. Exquisite layout and exquisite workmanship. Yangliuqing New Year pictures, wood carvings, clay sculptures, brick carvings and other traditional Tianjin small objects are also displayed.
The west courtyard is an outhouse, mainly used for reception, with a living room, a warm hall, a theater, an ancestral hall and so on. Most of them have been restored to their original furnishings. There is also a Sanjin Courtyard to the west of the West Courtyard, which is a private school specially built for the children of the Courtyard to go to school, which shows that the big family attached importance to education at that time.
Compared with the inner room, the outer room has more exquisite design and meticulous workmanship, especially the living room. There is also a big ceiling in the yard to protect the guests from the wind and rain before entering the house. The theater in the compound is very spacious, and it is the largest residential theater in the north. It can entertain hundreds of people at the same time, and famous Peking Opera artists Sun Juxian and Tan Xinpei have performed here.
Here, you can not only taste the exquisite traditional architecture in the north, but also learn the history of the rise and fall of feudal families. You can also take retro photos according to your personal preferences. From the living room, parlor, bedroom, theater, Buddhist temple to stable, the overall layout, architectural style and supporting decoration of Shi Jia quadrangles all reflect the cultural relics and customs at that time in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Shi Jia Courtyard has now become the Yangliuqing Museum. In addition to appreciating ancient buildings, you can also learn about Yangliuqing New Year pictures, Tianjin brick carvings, clay figurines, Zhang Caisu, folk paper-cutting and other folk handicrafts. Of course, you can buy it back if you like it.

8. Jizhou ghost town
Ghost Town, usually called wind erosion landform or Ya Dan landform, is a barren place. After years of baptism, under the tempering of yellow sand and wind and rain, strange sand dunes and stone forests have gradually formed.
Like Namco in Nanjing, the ghost town in Jizhou is a landscape formed by abandoned mines. The ground is covered with ravines of different depths, the exposed rocks are grotesque by strong winds, and colorful stones can be seen from time to time on the hillside, adding a bit of mystery to the hellish scene.
Ghost town is a small area, about two square kilometers. It is the scar left by a large number of dredging and mining medical stone in 1970s and 1980s, just like the desert Gobi and the creepy ghost town, which has both the destruction of Ya Dan landform and the ever-changing granite landform.
Of course, the names of such scenic spots are also exaggerated, in order to remind people of the Gobi in the west and revitalize this rare rough placer ruins.
After years of mining, these sandstone mines unconsciously left behind a number of strange peaks and rocks, cliffs, hills, stone pillars and gully pools, as if they were a barren land. Between the ravines, there is a clear pool with blue waves and cliff reflections, which seems to be a natural geological park.
Is the ghost town fun or not, 1000 words. It is mainly a natural landscape. It feels ordinary without taking pictures, but unlike ordinary scenic spots, there is no artificial carving here, and all kinds of rock walls are spectacular.
When visiting a ghost town, you must choose a sunny day. Sunshine is colorful, and any photo you take is a blockbuster. If you are lucky enough to find the old objects left over from those years, the background will be enriched immediately, and a picture full of vicissitudes and a sense of time will be formed instantly.

9. Taohuadi
Peach Blossom Dike, or Peach Blossom Garden, is mainly composed of three parks: Peach Blossom Garden, Shitao Garden and Beiyang Garden. You can enjoy it alone or play together. This is a sightseeing park with the theme of peach blossom.
According to historical records, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty passed by this place by cruise ship and saw peach trees dancing and flowers blooming on both sides. He immediately rejoiced, ordered the cruise ship to dock and personally went ashore for sightseeing and rode into the city. If you are in such a good mood, it is natural to sing a poem to you, or write two poems in a row. Now that you have hidden them in the Peach Blossom Garden, people who are interested can naturally look for them. At the same time, Qianlong gave this place the Peach Blossom Dike, which has been in use ever since.
After several wars, it was seriously damaged, and it was not rebuilt until the 1980s, and it was named Peach Blossom Garden, but the locals still used to call it Peach Blossom Dike. There is also a stone tablet on which Qianlong boarded the site, which can relive history and experience the historical picture of Qianlong pointing out the country and chanting poems.
Peach Blossom Garden is built around the North Canal, with pavilions and rockeries. Happily, there are nearly a thousand peach trees and weeping willows among them. Every spring, weeping willows help the wind, get drunk, leaving a heroic, charming and moving, unconsciously disappeared into it, making people relaxed and happy, lingering.
When I entered the park, the first thing I saw were two magnificent arches with a white marble carved in the middle to show my birthday. Passing through Yingchun Garden, you are greeted by the peach blossom pavilion surrounded by galleries, which is antique and poetic.
Shitao Garden is a unique place with quiet environment. There are many kinds of peach trees, pear trees, magnolia trees, begonia and so on. Walking in it, the fragrance is attractive. Especially the deep bamboo forest brings coolness. As the name implies, the iconic landscape of Shitaoyuan is the poem wall, where you can recite poems and paint, enjoy wine tasting and enjoy flowers, which is very good.
Beiyang Garden, located on the right bank of the North Canal, is also a part of the Peach Blossom Dike. Historically, it is a part of Xigu armory, located in the narrow strip west of the North Canal North-South River Bridge, and is called Beiyang Garden because it is adjacent to Beiyang University and Beiyang Bridge. It closely links the history and culture of Beiyang University with the garden landscape, creating a scenic spot combining nature and humanity.
Address: South Bank of North Canal, Hongqiao District, Tianjin
Xishuangtang Village 10
Xishuangtang Village, located on the west bank of the South Canal and adjacent to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, is a rare folk village with beautiful environment and charming scenery. In ancient times, this was the dock of the canal, and merchants from south to north came in an endless stream. At that time, there was a saying: there is paradise on earth, Suzhou and Hangzhou on earth, and besides Beijing, there are several ponds.
After careful construction, Xishuangtang Village perfectly combines classical charm with modern atmosphere, and has built lotus pond, Dongwutai Temple, antique shopping street, Phoenix Cultural Square, amorous feelings painting and calligraphy street and other attractions, which are simple and unpretentious.
Dongwutai Temple was built in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. It has five halls of great heroes, 20 partial halls and supporting meditation rooms. The gatehouse is carved out of white marble, with ninety-nine buddhas and ninety-nine dragons, which means ninety-nine is one. There is a Jinshui Bridge between the gatehouse and the main hall, and there is a release pond under the bridge. The Hall of Great Heroes is made of all-wood structure, which is the only antique wooden structure building in northern China.
Antique shopping street is a two-story retro block. The shops along the street are blue bricks and tiles, and the archway is upturned, which is typical of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The small bridge in front of the door is flowing, and the trees on the roadside are evergreen all the year round, showing the natural pastoral scenery.
On the other hand, Fengqing Calligraphy and Painting Street, with the theme of Tang and Song Dynasties, is a first-class cultural exchange center in Tianjin, with 58 relief stone pillars, 300 Tang poems and 8 paintings. Below the book gallery is the painting and calligraphy exchange center, which forms a cultural corridor several kilometers long with antique shopping streets and lotus ponds.
The lotus pond is located between an antique shopping street and a painting and calligraphy street. There are many varieties of lotus flowers in the pool, with two winding corridors and a quaint viewing pavilion in the middle, which can not only enjoy the scenery, but also provide a place for tourists to rest. Surrounded by exotic flowers and grasses, it is lush, and there is a rockery waterfall by the pond. When enjoying the lotus in spring and summer, pavilions, winding, red flowers and green trees, clear water and blue sky are refreshing.
Xishuangtang Village once had a slightly obscure history, the most famous of which was Tang Shuang steamed stuffed bun. In the past, there was a local saying, Tang Shuang steamed stuffed bun, if you don't eat it, you will regret it. Is it confusing? The thing is, there used to be a Korean steamed bun shop on the dock, and most of the diners were dock trackers. Korean steamed buns are thin, stuffed, big and round, and cheap. In the long run, they have a good reputation and regret not eating. However, Han's steamed buns are vegetarian, and several fillings made of cabbage are full. After eating, the tracker continued to pull the fiber. Because there is no oil and water, they will soon be hungry. Steamed bread is not hungry, it is better not to eat it. They regret eating them, so they have this saying. Of course, these are all old calendars. Today's steamed buns in Tang Shuang have long been a thing of the past, and there are many varieties. They no longer only sell Chinese cabbage steamed buns that are not hungry.
