1. Recommended attractions 1. The first of the five characteristic streets is Racecourse Road. On this narrow road, there are nearly 300 small Western-style buildings, each with a history behind it, either famous or little-known. You can walk along Racecourse Road. When you feel tired, there are many good restaurants where you can sit down and have a meal. Munan Road: 1968 meters in total length.

The buildings are also the most distinctive of the concession in Tianjin, and they all have a bit of history. 2. College Campus: Tianjin’s colleges and universities are mainly concentrated on Weijin Road, including Nankai University, Tianjin University, Normal University, etc. Personally, I think the Tianjin University campus is the most beautiful, especially in the summer. You can hide from the scorching sun in the shadow of the big trees, or you can look at the lotus flowers by the Horseshoe Lake of Nankai University and be in a daze. Jinhe: The other two gates of Nankai University are on Fukang Road. The smelly river in front of the gate has been transformed into a good place for small bridges and flowing water, and is now called Jinhe. The long rehabilitation road from Balitai Overpass through Nankai University to the First Central Hospital has charming scenery.

The intimate world there may be irritating to your sensitive nerves. Higher Education Bookstore and Balitai Cultural Market: Just across from Nanda University, you can buy CDs/VCDs/clothing and study books here. Although Balitai Cultural Market is not as good as Wantong New World and Xidan Warwick in Beijing, it is If you wander around carefully, you can still gain something.

Even now, it is very unique because it is built on a lake and is surrounded by water.

On sunny days, there will be many people flying kites on the platform. 3． Historical monuments: Buddhism: Dabei Zen Temple on Tianwei Road in Hebei District is a temple dedicated to the Buddha from all directions.
