Temple: Located in the east gate of the old city of Tianjin, it is also known as the Confucius Temple. Because it is opposite the Martial Arts Temple, it is commonly known as the Confucian Temple.

Founded in the first year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty (1436), it is the largest and most well-preserved ancient building complex in Tianjin.

There are two archways with two pillars and three floors outside the temple. They were built in the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt during the Wanli and Kangxi years of the Qing Dynasty. They are the only remaining street archways in Tianjin.

Tianhou Temple: located on what is now Ancient Culture Street.

(The correct name is "Edict-built Tianhou Palace", also called Empress Palace), it is a rare temple dedicated to "Mazu" in the north. It was first built in the first year of Taiding in the Yuan Dynasty (1326 AD), and in the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1403 AD)

)reconstruction.

Tianhou Palace faces east and west, facing the Haihe River. It has a construction area of ??2,500 square meters. It is still popular and well-preserved. It is the oldest building in Tianjin.

Shijia Courtyard: There is bus No. 153 from Tianjin West Station directly to Yangliuqing. The fare is 2 yuan and it takes about 60 minutes.

The admission fee for the Shi Family Courtyard (also known as the Yangliuqing Museum) at No. 47 Guayi Street, Yangliuqing, is 8 yuan.

The movie "Alive" and the TV series "Sunrise" were both shot in the Shijia Courtyard.

It is the "Zunmeitang" Shifu residence, one of the "Eight Great Masters" in Tianjin in the late Qing Dynasty.

It is the best preserved and largest residential building complex in the late Qing Dynasty in China so far.

The architecture is elegant and luxurious, the bricks, wood and stone carvings are exquisite, and the interior furnishings are full of folk sentiment.

It is known as "the first house in Jinxi".

Various interesting folk activities, complete sets of clay figurines, New Year pictures, etc. are also displayed here.

Speaking of Yangliuqing New Year pictures, the history should be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. The New Year pictures here have always maintained a simple style, and are mostly based on classical characters, folk figures and festive events. It would be a pity not to buy a few New Year pictures when you come here.

1. Recommended attractions 1.

The first of the five characteristic streets is Racecourse Road. On this narrow road, there are nearly 300 small Western-style buildings, each with a history behind it, either famous or little-known.

You can walk along Racecourse Road. When you feel tired, there are many good restaurants where you can sit down and have a meal.

Munan Road: 1968 meters in total length. Walk 300 meters from west to east along Racecourse Road and turn right.

There are many former residences of famous people, such as Dongling robber Sun Dianying, Zhang Xueliang's brother Zhang Xueming, the last emperor Pu Yi and so on.

Dali Road: The total length is 1,745 meters. There are also small Western-style buildings of different styles along the street.

.

Jiefang North Road was an old concession and is now a financial street in Tianjin. The Tianjin branches of all major banks have a place there. The buildings are also the most distinctive of the concession in Tianjin, and they all have a bit of history.

2.

College Campus: Tianjin’s colleges and universities are mainly concentrated on Weijin Road, including Nankai University, Tianjin University, Normal University, etc.

Personally, I think the campus of Tianjin University is the most beautiful, especially in the summer. You can hide from the scorching sun in the shadow of the big trees, or you can look at the lotus flowers by the Horseshoe Lake and be in a daze.

Jinhe: The other two gates of Nankai University are on Fukang Road. The smelly river in front of the gate has been transformed into a good place with small bridges and flowing water, and is now called Jinhe.

The long rehabilitation road from Balitai Overpass through Nankai University to the First Central Hospital has charming scenery.

Suggestion: Single men and women coming to Tianjin should not linger too long around the Jinhe River at Nankai University on Fukang Road. The intimate world there may be irritating to your sensitive nerves.

Higher Education Bookstore and Balitai Cultural Market: Just opposite Nanda, you can buy CDs, CDs/clothing, and study books here. Although Balitai Cultural Market is not as good as Wantong New World and Xidan Warwick in Beijing, it is fine.

If you look around carefully, you can still gain something.

Tianjin TV Tower: At the other end of Weijin Road, near the Ning family's house.

Before the Shanghai Oriental Pearl Tower was built, it was said to be the tallest TV tower in the country. Even now, it is very unique because it is built on a lake and is surrounded by water.

There’s nothing great to see in winter, but in other seasons, there’s also a water curtain movie, which is spectacular.

On sunny days, there will be many people flying kites on the platform.
