After you have been picked up from your hotel, your first visit will be the porcelain house which is decorated with ancient porcelain, white marble stone, crystal stone and agate decoration. It is a priceless collection of ancient Chinese porcelain, including some beautiful and whole pieces in the house. The house is owned by Zhang Lianzhi, who radically redecorated the building. Next you will head to Jingyuan, a beautiful garden boasting both Spanish and Japanese styles. The garden was built in 1921, and is protected as a historic site by the Tianjin Urban Cultural Relics Protection Unit.
Following your visit to Jingyuan, you will go to the Five Great Avenues. This was originally the foreign concession with buildings built by different European representatives in their respective styles. Countless politicians and celebrities lived here, increasing the mystique of the area. There is not much traffic with wide boulevards creating a particular atmosphere.
Many films were shot here, including ones directed and produced by Chinese national CCTV. From here, you will move onto the Tianjin Ancient Cultural Street where, through an archway, you’ll wander through lots of shops and stalls displaying arts and crafts from the area. You’ll be able to buy souvenirs for yourself, family and friends at home which could be clay figurines, antique batik fabrics, and more. Feel free to stroll around yourself, enjoying the sights, sounds and trying local snacks as sold from street stalls. Your guide will be able to help explain what they are and bargain for you. After you’re done here, we will take you back to your hotel.
