Tianjin is located in North China, northeast of North China Plain, downstream of Haihe River Basin, bordering Bohai Sea in the east, Yanshan Mountain in the north and Beijing in the west. Tianjin is the main node of the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor and the nearest eastern starting point of the Eurasian Continental Bridge. Tianjin is located at the intersection and estuary of the five tributaries of Haihe River, namely South Canal, Ziya River, Daqing River, Yongding River and North Canal, and is known as the intersection of rivers and seas.
A brief introduction to the historical development of Tianjin.
Tianjin was the land and water terminal for transporting grain and silk from south to north after the mid-Tang Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty set up zhi gu Village in zhi gu. Haijin Town, founded in Yuan Dynasty, is a military center and a water transportation center. In the second year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (1404), it was officially completed, and it was the only city in ancient China with an exact record of the time when it was built.
After Tianjin was turned into a trading port in the tenth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1860), western powers set up concessions here one after another, and Tianjin became the frontier of the opening of northern China in modern times and the base of China's Westernization Movement. After more than 600 years, Tianjin has created a unique urban landscape that combines Chinese and Western cultures and is compatible with ancient and modern times.
