7. Stroll through Tianjin's Italian Style Area
Apart from being a traditionally Chinese city, Tianjin's Italian Style Area transports visitors straight to Europe.
Walk along streets lined with Italian-designed schools, churches and gardens. Landmarks like the Goddess of Peace statue, Marco Polo Square and Winged Lion Fountain add to the old-world charm.
Complete your visit with a meal or coffee at one of the many Italian restaurants and cafes nestled in the historic lanes.
