When our Chinese hosts told us we were going to see Five Great Avenues, we thought they meant "like Fifth Avenue" or some kind of broad shopping district. It turned out to be a tour of the lovely residential neighborhoods and avante-guard clubs and restaurants of this curiously European style city so close to Beijing. Rent a bike (they can... More

I wouldn't generalize to all the pedicabs around, but our experience was efficient, informative, relatively short due to lack of time but the pedicab was well worth the money for a 45 minute tour of the inner ring highspots.

We only did a quick drive through up and down the streets, but it looked like a nice place to stroll around. There was a really beautiful rose garden with a gazebo. You can hire a horse drawn carriage or a surrey bicycle to take you around. There seemed to be a few cafes, but not much in the way... More

When visiting this area, you truly wander around architecture that resembles Europe. I seen buildings that made me think of home and if you are lucky you can find small restaurants or coffee houses that offer a great stop on the way. Pick a sunny day and you feel surrounded by details in buildings and streets that are not giving... More

We had a private tour with our own horse carriage and a tour guide. I expected to see rolls of houses of distinct characters. Instead I saw a few streets of run down houses. If not for the tour guide who gave us a running commentary of all the historical Chinese figures who lived in those houses, it would have... More

Take a walk through this historic part of Tianjin, and get a feel for how life may have been 100 years ago. Many of the historic villas are preserved with many plaques detailing the buildings history. The Foreign language University buildings, close by, are also worth a wonder.

Very unique place. Serene and tranquil feeling when walking along these streets. There is this horse carriage ride which my son enjoyed so much as he could not get one back at home.
