1. Recommended attractions.
1. Racecourse Road is the first featured street on Fifth Avenue.
On this narrow road, there are nearly 300 small Western-style buildings, each of which has a history behind it, either famous or little-known.
You can walk along Racecourse Road.
When you get tired, there are many nice restaurants where you can sit down and eat.
Munan Road: 1968 meters in total length. Walk 300 meters west to east along Machang Road and turn right.
There are many former residences of famous people here, such as Dongling robber Sun Dianying, Zhang Xueliang's brother Zhang Xueming and the last emperor Puyi.
Dali Road: 1,745 meters long. There are also foreign small Western-style buildings of different styles along the street.
Changde Road: 1,219 meters long, there is the former residence of Zhang Fuyu, director of customs affairs of the Ministry of Finance of the Kuomintang government (No. 2 Changde Road), and a good restaurant.
Chongqing Road: There is a Qing palace, which was a small private residence for the eunuchs in charge in the late Qing Dynasty.
There are also many places for dining and entertainment, such as karaoke bars, Donghai Fishing Village, Zhonglian Western Restaurant, etc.
Chengdu Road: 2206 meters long, with many teahouses and bars, such as Su Xi Restaurant, Little London Western Restaurant, Western Restaurant, 1931 Mona Bar, Dole Bar, Qingming, Lowe's Bar, etc.
Jiefang North Road, the old concession, is now Tianjin's Financial Street, where all the Tianjin branches of major banks have a place.
This building is also the most distinctive building in the Tianjin Concession and has a long history.
2.
University District: Tianjin’s universities are mainly concentrated on Weijin Road, including Nankai University, Tianjin University, and Normal University.
I personally think the Tianjin University campus is the most beautiful, especially in summer.
You can hide from the scorching sun in the shadow of a big tree, or look at the lotus flowers in a daze by the Horseshoe Lake of Nankai University.
Jinhe: The other two gates of Nankai University are on Fukang Road.
The smelly river in front was transformed into a good place for small bridges and flowing water, and is now called Jinhe.
From Balitai Overpass, through Nankai University to the First Central Hospital, there is a long rehabilitation road with charming scenery.
Suggestion: Single men and women who come to Tianjin should not linger too long by the Tianjin River at Nankai University on the way to recovery. The world of two people in love there may irritate your sensitive nerves.
Higher Education Bookstore and Balitai Cultural Market: Just opposite NTU, you can buy CD/VCD/clothing and study books here.
Although Balitai Cultural Market is not as good as Beijing's Wantong New World and Xidan Warwick, you can still gain something by browsing carefully.
Tianjin TV Tower: At the other end of Weijin Road, near Ningjia.
Before the Shanghai Oriental Pearl Tower was built, it was said to be the tallest TV tower in China.
Even now, it has a lot of character because it is built on a lake and is surrounded by water.
There is nothing much to see in winter, but in other seasons there is a water curtain movie, which is very spectacular.
On sunny days, there will be many people flying kites on the platform.

First, the Main Hall in the center of the courtyard houses hundreds of bronze, wood, and stone sculptures from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which are rare works of art in the world.
Secondly, Dabeiyuan’s Suzhai has always been famous for turning soy products into magic and making delicious dishes.
