تيانجين الزهور

A port city with a lot more to offer than boats and naval history, Tianjin has a great number of local attractions that will delight any visitor. Often overlooked in favour of Shanghai or Beijing as a tourist destination, Tianjin is a surprisingly interesting place to visit. To start, the Tianjin Museum should be anyone’s first port of call when in the city. Displaying well over two hundred artefacts, the museum is a great place at which to get an overview of the areas modern and ancient history. The Tianhou Temple is worth a visit, as is a stroll around the treaty port area and its colonial era buildings. If you prefer to spend your time closer to nature, Tianjin offers plenty of chances to see flowers and plants during your visit. A trip to the Tianjin Tropical Botanical Garden is perhaps the best place to head if you want some peace and quiet away from the modern city. A huge modern steel greenhouse houses hundreds of different species of plants and flowers including some rare finds and is worth a visit, along with the little flower market outside. The nearby Tianjin University also hosts a yearly begonia festival which features interactive exhibits.
