Welcome to Tianjin, one of the largest and most internationally influential port cities in northern China! Our driver will meet you at the exit of Tianjin Railway Station and accompany you to start a wonderful journey in Tianjin. The best way to explore Tianjin: stroll slowly to admire its quaint and exquisite architecture, streets, and bridges; taste authentic local street food and snacks. After a short rest, head to visit the Shi Family Grand Courtyard. First built in the early Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1875), it was the residence of the Shi Yuanshi family, the foremost of the "Eight Great Families of Tianjin." It is also one of the best-preserved and largest late Qing residential architectural complexes in China, known as the "First Residence of North China." Covering about 6,000 square meters, it is one of the largest private residences in northern China and the best place to appreciate Chinese brick carving, wood carving, stone carving, and the enclosed residential theater architecture, offering a glimpse into the ultimate luxurious lifestyle of wealthy Qing merchants. It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi once visited here. In addition, the Shi Family Grand Courtyard is now the main hall of the Yangliuqing Museum, housing more than 130 treasures, with permanent exhibitions of New Year painting woodblocks and Tianjin brick carvings, well worth savoring. Many popular films and TV dramas were also shot here, such as "The Golden Family" starring Liu Yifei. Afterwards, head to Tianjin's cultural landmark, the Tianjin Museum (closed on Mondays). This is the largest and most richly collectioned comprehensive museum in Tianjin, known as a "three-dimensional textbook of Tianjin's general history," and an excellent place to learn about Tianjin's glorious history and splendid culture. Among them, the Western Zhou Taibao Ding (the only surviving piece of the "Seven Liangshan Vessels" among bronzes), the Qianlong falangcai jade pot spring vase (brightly colored, integrating poetry, calligraphy, painting, and seals), and the Song Dynasty white jade puppy (a "scene-stealer" in the artifact world) are the museum's treasures, very worth checking in. After visiting the museum, you can leisurely stroll through the Italian Style Area and experience the most diverse exotic charm. The Italian Style Area is the only fully preserved Italian-style architectural complex in Asia, with 137 historical buildings in Mediterranean styles such as Gothic, Romanesque, and Baroque, and is the best representative of the "Exhibition of Architecture from All Nations." You can stroll slowly around Marco Polo Square, photograph the Goddess of Peace statue, the Gothic bell tower, and the flying lion wishing pool, and feel the pure Italian charm; you can also walk along the seven horizontal and three vertical stone-paved roads, check in at exotic buildings such as consulates and churches, and every casual shot is a great photo; you can also visit celebrity former residences such as Liang Qichao's Ice-Drinking Room (at your own expense, ticket 10 yuan) and Cao Yu's Former Residence (free, reservation required), and experience the living scenes of modern Chinese celebrities up close; or check in at the former Italian barracks and learn about the history of the concession. In addition, in the Italian Style Area you can also taste different European flavors and authentic local cuisine. Then, continue to the Ancient Culture Street, known as the "Hometown of Tianjin." This is one of Tianjin's famous cultural landmarks and also one of Tianjin's city cards. Here, you can experience authentic Tianjin life, admire Ming and Qing style historical buildings such as the Temple of the Empress of Heaven and Tongqingli, taste the "Three Wonders of Tianjin" foods: Goubuli steamed buns, Shibajie fried dough twists, and Erduoyan fried cakes, and watch intangible cultural heritage skills such as Yangliuqing New Year paintings and Clay Figure Zhang painted sculptures.
