Tianjin Haihe Cultural Square
It is the "Bund" in Tianjin, a nice place to walk around and enjoy the fine architectures and bridges along the Haihe River. It is right opposite the Tianjin Railway Station.
Many people go there to relax. Walking along the Haihe River towards the Tianjin Eye or taking a river cruise is fabulous. You can see the locals fishing in the river, go swimming or watch wedding couples taking their photos with the European style buildings as a backdrop. In winter, when the river is frozen, you can go skating there. The night view with its colorful lights is especially charming.
