City Tour - Tianjin (2)

 

After coming out of the nature museum, it was getting dark and I was feeling hungry. I made a plan to eat steamed buns tonight. Of course I won’t go to Goubuli. 20 I spent a lot of money to try it once when I came here two years ago. Maybe it’s not as delicious as the current online reviews, but it’s not that good, so I won’t go there. This is a pig's head. I looked online and found that Siping Baozi Shop not far away had good reviews. It was neither a time-honored brand nor an internet celebrity, so I just took the bus there.

Sure enough, it is a small shop, hidden in a quiet alley in the community. When I arrived, it was not lunch time yet, so I was the only customer, but the old ladies were already making buns in preparation for the upcoming evening rush hour. I ordered six steamed buns in two flavors, a plate of cold dishes and a bowl of porridge. The total cost was 18 yuan. Compared with Goubuli, which often costs hundreds, it was nothing to mention, and the taste was okay. Not bad, although it's not amazing, at least it's delicious.

When I was almost finished eating, some neighbors came in and bought plastic bags. There were not many customers sitting down to eat. This is a truly conscientious restaurant, and it basically only deals with regular customers from the surrounding area.

 

It was getting dark soon, but it was still early. There seemed to be nothing to do at night in the northern city, so I decided to go see the Eye of Tianjin standing on the Haihe River. As a local landmark building in Tianjin, this Ferris wheel can be seen in all Tianjin landscape promotional videos. Although I don’t want to climb up and sit around, it’s still okay to take a look.

The Eye of Tianjin is located on the bank of the Haihe River in Hongqiao District, Tianjin. The full name is Tianjin Yongle Bridge Ferris Wheel. It is a Ferris wheel built across the river and integrated into a bridge and wheel. It has both sightseeing and transportation functions. The diameter of the Ferris wheel is 110 meters, and it takes 28 minutes to rotate once. When it reaches the highest point, the surrounding scenery is unobstructed. After nightfall, the weather gets even colder. The big wheel is not open for travelers to ride, but it is still spinning and the lights are bright, so you can take photos.

The Eye of Tianjin is about five kilometers away from the hotel where I stayed. After taking the photos, I decided to jog back along the Haihe River.

The Haihe River is the "Mother River" of the people of Tianjin. It starts from the Tianjin Jingang Bridge, flows into the Bohai Bay from Dagukou, and runs through the urban area of ​​Tianjin. On both sides of the main city, there are many high-rise buildings and more than 20 historical and cultural buildings. , you can board a boat at the cruise pier to visit the most prosperous section. Whenever night comes, the lights on both sides of the Haihe River are lit up, and the scenery is extraordinary. I ran and played, forgetting the cold. It was really beautiful scenery and lights all the way. Tianjin has made the Mother River so beautiful and enviable.

When I ran to the hotel, I was still not satisfied. The lights of Tianjin Railway Station not far away were gorgeous. I ran a few more steps to take some photos of the night view of Tianjin Station before finishing the day.

 

The taxi driver told me that the best pancakes in Tianjin are from Nanlou, but I couldn’t find where Nanlou is. In the early morning, after taking a few photos of the Jiefang Bridge in the golden sunshine, I saw a few fruit stalls at a corner not far away. I think ordinary citizens in Tianjin bring their own eggs to such stalls. , so I stopped and asked for one. When I paid, I thought it was really cheap. It only cost 7 yuan. It tasted average in my mouth. It didn’t seem as sweet as the ones I ate when I was living in Beijing. It seems that I will have to look for Nanlou next time. where.

 

The former residence of famous people in Tianjin that attracts me the most is the Young Marshal's Mansion. Although I am not too fond of Zhang Xueliang's character, I still want to find out carefully what he was hiding in Tianjin at that time. The former residence of Zhang Xueliang on Chifeng Road has been my favorite for a long time. One of the purposes of planning. Riding a shared bicycle, riding in the cold morning light, there is a faint light on the road falling from the gaps in the street trees.

Zhang Xueliang's Former Residence, also known as Shaoshuai Mansion, is located on Chifeng Road, Tianjin. 78 No., founded in 1921 It was Zhang Xueliang's residence in Tianjin in the 1920s and 1930s. It is a Western-style building with a Baroque style, with a luxurious exterior and exquisite interior decoration. The original life of the Zhang family in the French Concession in Tianjin was recreated. As expected of the eldest son of the King of Northeast China, the whole building is luxurious enough. There are many photos of Miss Zhao Si on the wall. She is still a great beauty even now.

The ticket is 50. When I stood at the gate and read the introduction, there was an old man with a Beijing accent who was struggling whether to buy the ticket or not. He was also talking loudly and loudly commenting on Mr. Zhang, The general idea is that as the vice chairman of the National Government at that time, he had never done anything good. I smiled lightly. The people's eyes are sharp. History is just a little girl who can be dressed up. I just came to see this building and the half page of the stormy era of the Republic of China.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy. It’s like rushing to see the places I want to see. City travel has become my passion in recent years. My mind is full of parks, attractions, and museums.

Tianjin Confucian Temple Museum, located on Dongmenli Street, Nankai District, Tianjin, has a history of nearly 600 years. It was the academic palace of Tianjin during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Walking in the Confucian Temple, I felt very strange why all the buildings had two sets. After reading the introduction, I realized that this is a school at the prefecture and county levels. The west side is the county school Confucian Temple, the center is the prefecture school Confucian Temple, and the east side is the Confucian Temple. It is the Wenchang Temple, consisting of Lingxing Gate, Dacheng Hall, Chongsheng Temple and other ancient buildings. In other words, the provincial higher education institutions and the municipal higher education institutions are in one place. It is the only ancient Confucian temple building complex in the country that integrates prefectures and counties. . Although there are two, they are incomparable to the Confucian Temple in Jianshui, my home.
