Day 1 - Stepping into Tianjin's Past
Our first day in Tianjin will be devoted to understanding its past. Don't miss the Tianjin Museum.

Day 2 - The City’s Cultural Charms
Day two will open the gates of Tianjin's natural beauty and cultural peculiarity. Our first stop is the Tianjin Eye, one of the few ferris wheels built over a bridge. Get ready for a breathtaking aerial view of the city. Mid-day is earmarked for a boat ride on the Haihe River. This relaxing cruise is a beautiful way to see major landmarks from a different perspective. Later, immerse yourself in the bustling marketplace at the Ancient Culture Street. This place is like a living museum reflecting the charm of old Tianjin with a mix of art, crafts, and architecture. As the day closes, we'll head to the Nanshi Food Street, a paradise for food-lovers. Enjoy the local flavours and don't forget to try Goubuli Baozi, a famous Tianjin steamed stuffed bun. Hungry already? Well, we are just getting started.
Day 3 - Exploring Tianjin’s Modernity
On the last day, we're hitting the high-tech and ultra-modern side of Tianjin. Starting with Binhai New Area, Tianjin's economic engine, and the place to see dazzling, futuristic architecture. Next, we'll head to the Tianjin Binhai Library. Beyond the world of books, stepping into this library feels like entering a science fiction movie with its unique design. Before we bid adieu to this fascinating city, a visit to the bustling Tianjin Television and Radio Tower is scheduled that offers a panoramic view of the city. Doubtless, you'll go back home with a bag full of memories, experiences and probably a dumpling tummy!
