Tianjin, Seaport metropolis in northern China

Tianjin spans across 11,917 square kilometers at the convergence of five rivers, forming the Haihe River that flows into the Bohai Sea.

In 1404, the establishment of the walled city marked Tianjin's beginning, later becoming a significant treaty port in 1860 through the Treaty of Tientsin.

The city maintains numerous colonial structures from eight different nations, creating districts with French, British, Italian, and German architectural characteristics.

The municipal transport network combines metro lines, high-speed trains, and an international airport, connecting the city to Beijing within 30 minutes.

The Tianjin Eye, built across the Haihe River, functions as both a traffic bridge and a Ferris wheel, rising 120 meters above the water.
