Hello, Tianjin! part ll

In the afternoon, we went to the concessions of Tianjin but I couldn’t tell which one was which country. I just could show you the area is really full of exotic atmosphere. Interestingly, in the area, the houses people lived in were listed in country’s ancient buildings.









We took a lot of pictures there, and when I took picture with one of the ancient buildings, I said that “The house is really like Resident Evil.” Unfortunately, the man who lived in the building had heard what I had said. Wow, it was really embarrassed.
By the way, in the area, they established many interesting bronze statues. I was excited to find different statues around the corners and took pictures with them.








Obviously, Tianjin developed slower than Beijing because when I got there, the train station, tall buildings, and so on were still constructing. But I could the government tried a lot to catch up Beijing’s development. The place was really interesting because it melted both Chinese traditional culture and exotic atmosphere.

Today we were going to visit Tianjin!


The high speed train is really convenient and it only takes us 45 minutes from Beijing to Tianjin. The station is really new and luxury. When I got there, I thought it was not a train station but an airport! The waiting place settled a lot of comfortable arm chairs and it even had special seats for VIPs. They also had a piano in the waiting place.

The first spot was Guwenhua Jie or you could call it “津門故里.” The street was burn in 1912, but the government rebuild it in 1986 and gave it the new name. Now, there are about 200 stores to sell traditional stuffs including instruments, handicrafts, and souvenirs. I had seen an elder draw beautiful words and it was really interesting and worth buying.

We went to Go Believe (狗不理包子) for lunch. Well, here we had another funny story with the taxi driver. The driver asked as where were we going and we answered him we wanted to go to the Go Believe. He laughed and said “來天津不吃狗不理會遺憾，吃了更遺憾。” After listening to him, we really didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. Go Believe was also another expensive restaurant we had visited when we were in our trip. Actually, I still couldn’t believe that the little one cost at least 60 NT dollars. We also ordered some traditional Chinese food. In the case of the flavor, you have to try it by yourselves that you’ll understand.
