About this activity
Your personal guide will meet you in the lobby of your Beijing hotel at 7am and transfer you to Tianjin by air-conditioned private car. After about 2 hours, you will arrive in Tianjin and start your tour. Tianjin has the fourth largest urban population in China after Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. It also has a long history dating back to many centuries ago. Tianjin is also prominent in Chinese history for its connection to the Opium War and the "Boxer Rebellion" that lead to becoming a gateway port of British and French concessions along with Japanese, German, and Russian. Today, Tianjin is still of strategic importance to China for being Beijing’s gateway to the sea.

Your first stop today is in the area known as the Five Great Avenues or Wu Da Dao in Chinese. Located in Heping District just south of the downtown Tianjin, the Five Great Avenues are five parallel roads running east to west across the city and are named after five Chinese cities: Chongqing, Changde, Dali, Machang, and Munan. In this neighborhood, you will see well over 200 buildings with architectural styles from all over Europe. 

Next, continue to Jing Garden or "Garden of Serenity." Built in Spanish style in 1921, the complex was adopted as the residence of Puyi, the last Emperor of Qing Dynasty, in 1929 when he moved here with his Empress, Wan Rong, and Concubine, Wenxiu. The main building has 21 rooms that have been restored to their original purpose.

After lunch, you will have a chance to relax a little as you walk along Tianjin’s Ancient Cultural Street. Here, you will find many antique and jade shops. There is also a temple for the Queen of Heaven dedicated to the Goddess of the Sea in the center of this 2,297 feet (700 meters) long street. You will have time to explore the Temple as well as browsing through many fascinating shops.

Your last stop for today is at the 394 feet (120 meters) tall Tianjin Eye on Yongle Bridge, a giant Ferris Wheel that spans over Hai River. In fact, it claims to be the only Ferris Wheel constructed over a bridge in the world. Each passenger cabin could seat eight people, and each rotation takes 30 approximately minutes. Please pay on the spot if you want to get a spectacular view over the city of Tianjin.

Following your ride on the Tianjin Eye, your guide and driver will accompany you back to your Beijing hotel where your tour concludes. 

Please note: Ferris Wheel is closed on Monday. To ride Ferris Wheel may queue over 2 hours during Chinese public holidays, such as National Day holidays, May Day holidays and etc. Please pay on the spot if you are interested in riding it.
