Here, let Beidou show you the top ten unpopular scenic spots in Tianjin, so that you can walk around in your spare time.
1, Jiefang North Road
Jiefang North Road, formerly known as Dafa Road, Zhongjie Street and Beiyang Financial Street, is not spacious. It starts from jiefang bridge in Haihe River in the north and ends at Xuzhou Road in the south. It was a financial street in the Republic of China, which is somewhat similar to the Bund in Shanghai and is known as the Oriental Wall Street.
This road is paved with gray masonry, with tall trees on both sides, leafy and shaded by green leaves. There are buildings with unique shapes on the street, such as Gothic, Roman, Germanic, Russian classical and other medieval classical western buildings, so that you can enjoy exotic customs without going abroad.
According to records, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was a treasure trove of geomantic omen next to the East Railway Station and Haihe River, which was favored by financiers from all over the world because of its superior location. So regardless of nationality, they set up financial institutions in their respective countries here, including various banks, credit cooperatives, stock exchanges, trust companies, investment companies, insurance companies, gold and silver jewelry stores, etc., as well as some well-known large enterprises, which are scattered all over the place and dazzling.
There are many buildings left here, including Daqing Post Bureau, Kailuan Mining Bureau, Macquarie Bank, HSBC Bank, Yokohama Zhengjinyin Bank, China-France Industrial Bank, Salt Bank, Western Art Museum, Lishunde Hotel and other century-old buildings. Walking on this street is a kind of enjoyment, which makes you feel away from the noisy city inexplicably.
Tianjin Bureau of Daqing Post is a landmark building preserved by China Post in modern times. It has a three-story building in a rectangular shape, with blue brick walls, arched doors and windows, and exquisite carved brick columns on the facade. 1878, the German DeTrilin of Tianjin Customs and Taxation Department founded the Tianjin Customs Correspondence Room in the official office of Xinhai Xinguan, which was the earliest postal institution in China. In July of the same year, the first set of stamps, Dalong Stamps, was issued to the whole country. 1884, moved into this building for office, 1897 changed its name to Daqing Post Bureau, 19 12, Daqing Post was changed to Chunghwa Post, and today it has become Tianjin Post Museum.
Kailuan Mining Bureau, the most magnificent office building in Tianjin in modern times, was founded in 192 1 year. It adopts a strictly symmetrical classical three-stage design, with dignified and heavy modeling and elegant indoor and outdoor decoration, and its modeling has become a masterpiece of European classical architecture. Kailuan Mining Bureau, also known as the source of China's coal industry, strongly promoted the rapid development of Tianjin's industry.
Salt bank, founded in 1928, was the headquarters of salt bank at that time. The building was designed by an architect in China, and it is the only modern building recorded in Fletcher's Architectural History. According to historical records, in 19 15, the bank was founded by national capitalists with its head office in Beijing. In the same year, Tianjin Branch opened, so it was named Salt Bank because of its close relationship with salt affairs.
There are many characteristic buildings on Jiefang North Road, which can't be counted at all. Every building has its own past and its own wonderful scenery along the way. Looking at so many western buildings, the humiliation of that year is gone forever, and only these buildings have witnessed those stories.

2. Shilongxia
Shilongxia is a mysterious canyon, where vines are entwined, ancient trees become forests, strange peaks are steep, and streams are gurgling, which combines male, strange, dangerous, stern and beautiful, with beautiful mountains and picturesque scenery.
It is said that there is a touching story about the name of Shilong Gorge. Under the Guilong Bridge, there is a stone dragon, half hidden in a clear stream, in a form of going against the water. Legend has it that this is the little dragon of Dragon Baer who wanted to jump out of the dragon gate, but it turned into carp as soon as he got out of the dragon gate. The little dragon regretted it and quickly turned back to jump back to Dragon Baer. Although he turned into a dragon again, he was exhausted and unable to go upstream again, and immediately turned into a stone dragon in the water.
In Shilongxia Scenic Area, there are two parts, the top of which is called Cuishoupo, with strange stones, longevity trees and large mixed forests as the highlights. There are strange flowers, exotic grasses and ancient wood forests growing on the slope, which makes the hillside green.
Bridges and waterfalls are the main ones below. Stone arch bridges, cable bridges, plank roads and jumping stones are exquisitely laid out, while waterfalls and qingtan are too numerous to mention, which makes people fascinated and dazzled.
On both sides of the canyon, the peaks stand like two Wolong, and there are many landscapes along the way, mainly including Wu Caishen and the Black Dragon, rock paintings, Black Dragon praying for rain, Longtan, turtle's back mother, golden cicada looking at the pool, stone turtle peeping, Tianyaochi Waterfall, Baiyao Garden and so on.
Shilongxia Waterfall is very spectacular, with a drop of nearly 100 meters. The waterfall pours down, which is beautiful and has a feeling of like a pouring of large and small pearls into a plate of jade. The ecology along the way is also very good and natural and quiet.
As the most eye-catching landscape of Shilong Gorge, it is still the stream here, which is crystal clear and flowing endlessly. When visitors walk through it, they can not only enjoy the moving beauty, but also hear the pleasant murmur.
Address: Xiaying Town, Jizhou District, Tianjin
3. Music Street
Tianjin Music Street, located in Bawei Road, Hedong District, with a total length of more than 300 meters, is centered on Tianjin Conservatory of Music (North and South Houses) and has 108 stores along the street. All storefronts adopt the simple European style, with ivory as the main color, and follow the principle of from shallow to deep, showing the elegance and nobility of the simple European style, which has become a beautiful scenery in Tianjin.
At the entrance of the street, the first thing that catches your eye is the brand of Tianjin Music Street. On the wall, there are graffiti related to music. The design is avant-garde and fashionable, and the colors are bright and bright, which makes visitors instantly immersed in the artistic atmosphere.
On this straight street, there are many music-related shops. You can find all kinds of musical instruments, including Chinese traditional musical instruments and western musical instruments, and you can learn some music-related knowledge, such as the musical instrument Zhang, a famous intangible cultural heritage in Jinmen.
Here, there is also a beautiful scenery. There are many statues of famous musicians and artists erected on the street, such as Le Sheng Beethoven, composer Mozart, people's musician Xian Xinghai and so on. The craftsmanship is exquisite and vivid, and it is a good place for taking photos and taking pictures as a souvenir.
Because Music Street is based on Tianjin Conservatory of Music, there are many students coming and going, buying musical instruments, costume rental and so on. Looking at young figures and exquisite shops has added a lot of vitality to the streets.
Statues, graffiti and exquisite musical instrument shops make Music Street full of vitality. Occasionally, you can see music lovers playing in the street, you can also see musical instruments from all over the world, and there are all kinds of novel gadgets, which make the whole street full of fun.
The artistic atmosphere of this music street is very rich. In addition to the unique scenery, art students carrying musical instruments can be seen everywhere, and there are food desserts such as Kawamachi Taro and Yago _ Music Western Restaurant to taste, so that you can experience the warmth and romance of a petty bourgeoisie. In Music Street, there is the No.1 Central Primary School in Hedong District of Tianjin, which is said to be one of the best primary schools in Tianjin.

4. Drum Tower
Tianjin drum tower, one of the three treasures of Tianjinwei, is located in the center of Tianjin, surrounded by four roads in the southeast and northwest, forming four areas: northeast corner, southeast corner, northwest corner and southwest corner, and building four gates and corner towers in the southeast and northwest, as well as the sections of Gulou East Street, Gulou South Street and Gulou North Street that are still in use today.
This drum tower has three floors, and the first floor of the building is a square platform made of bricks, which is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It leads to four old streets, east, west, north and south, respectively, through four arched doorways. There are two floors on the platform, the lower floor is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Virgin of the Queen of Heaven, as well as martial saints Guan Yu and Yue Fei; There is an iron bell weighing 300 Jin hanging from the upper floor, so it is called Drum Tower, which is actually a bell tower.
The Drum Tower and the nearby commercial streets are all antique buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties, with blue bricks, tiles and blue tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, and antique, which make the modern city a block full of traditional cultural charm. As a landmark building in Tianjinwei, it was once abandoned and prospered in history. Today, the Drum Tower was rebuilt in 2000, with the main body of steel-concrete structure, sumeru base and wooden building shape. It is a bold attempt to combine modern technology with traditional buildings.
Some people say that the Drum Tower is the center of Tianjin, and Tianjin is a city that has been spreading around with the Drum Tower as its origin, so the Drum Tower is defined as the birthplace of Tianjin. In any case, today's Gulou Commercial Street is indeed cross-shaped, starting from Chengxiang East Road in the east, reaching Chengxiang Middle Road in the west, starting from Chengxiang Middle Road in the north and reaching Chengxiang Middle Road in the south, showing a rare scene of Dapeng spreading its wings.
When you climb the Drum Tower, you can see the collision between classicism and modernity, and the mutual concealment between tradition and fashion. The ancient rhyme of Ming and Qing Dynasties and high-rise buildings are in the same world, which brings great impact to the vision. Being in it, there is a trace of anxiety, a trace of emotion, and more thankfulness.
The whole commercial street is divided into three parts, the North Street is the Antique City and the Golden Pavilion Art Market; East Street is a boutique shopping street; South Street is an oriental city that never sleeps, with traditional folk culture, commerce and catering in Tianjin. There are both traditions and fashions, so that visitors can experience the traditional Tianjin Wei customs through modern play, shopping, eating and drinking.
There are some interesting small shops on both sides of the street, such as clay figurines, sugar blowers, traditional paper-cuts, dolls and gourds. Looking at these familiar and unfamiliar gadgets, I feel that this is the ideal market.

5. Huangye Village
Huangye Village, hidden in the southwest corner of Xigu Park, is surrounded by small rivers, with quiet ancient trees, arched buildings, watchtowers and stone pagodas, with three or two stone benches and four or five houses, forming an elegant pastoral landscape map.
Some people may ask, isn't this a city park? How can it be an ancient village? In fact, the history of Huangye Village is much earlier than that of Xigu Park, with Huangye Village first and Laoxigu later. It is only because Huangye Village was included in the construction of Xigu Park that there is a Huangye Village in Xigu today.
Xigu, one of the seventy-two selling houses in Tianjin, was originally named Huangye Village. In the Qing Dynasty, it was recorded in the book "The Strange Tales of Drunk Tea": Xigu, formerly known as Huangye Village, was known by the old people, but it was unknown to others, meaning that only some old people knew that Xigu was originally called Huangye Village at that time. During the Qianlong period, it is better to write a poem of Huangye Village than to leave a remnant cup cold-baked with virtue. There is also a local saying that if we had known that there was Xigu in Tianjin, why should people go to the south of the Yangtze River? You can see how charming the scenery here is.
Huangye Village is dominated by northern dwellings, with gray bricks, green tiles, farmhouses, quadrangles, arch bridges and rocks, such as crowned green trees, long old streets, corner pavilions, towers and promenades, which perfectly reproduce the life scene and regional characteristics of Xigu water transport depicted in Luhe Duyun Map and fully show Tianjin's rich historical and cultural heritage.
The tallest building in the village is an ancient pagoda. I don't know what year it was built. According to historical records, there are temples and pagodas, water and bridges here, just like a scene where monks return to the temple in Huangye Village and people call the boat at the setting sun ferry. Does it have a unique charm?
Nowadays, although the prosperity is no longer there, the tranquility is even better than that of the past. There are still stages, martial arts venues, stone benches, stone tables, stone mills, stone roads and ancient ginkgo trees. Although it's a corner of peace, it's a quiet place in the middle of trouble, and there's a hole in the sky.
This fresh and refined small village, because few people know and few people come, is more like a pure land hidden in a bustling city, an elf left in the long river of years, waiting for someone who is destined.

6. Dongli Lake
Dongli Lake is connected by two lakes, East Lake and Lihu Lake. Generally speaking, Dongli Lake is actually the general name of the two lakes. It is one of the eight major tourist attractions and seven nature reserves in Tianjin. It is famous for its vast water surface and rich ecological geothermal energy, and is known as a small freshwater ocean.
East Lake is transformed from the original foundation by deepening, with beautiful environment and winding coastline. Lihu Lake is small, located on the west side of East Lake. Many fish are cultured in the lake, and dozens of birds thrive here. Dongli Lake is connected with Jinzhong River, Yongding New River and Xindi River, and the dragon-shaped water system formed highlights the unique ecological beauty.
The geothermal resources here are very rich, which is the source of the tropical zone in northern China. Geothermal water is beneficial to human body and can strengthen the body. There are many hot spring hotels by the lake, where you can soak in hot springs, which is a good place for health.
There is a scene avenue by the lake, with weeping willows and ginkgo trees on both sides of the road, and some maple trees mixed in. Every late autumn, the temperature drops, the leaves turn yellow and colorful, just like a vivid oil painting.
There is also a lotus pond in Dongli Lake. In summer, a clear water and lotus flowers are in full bloom, swaying with the wind in the breeze, bringing some tranquility to the noisy city. Every time I come here, I just feel excited and refreshed. It's not that I'm greedy for the world of mortals, it's the lotus fragrance that makes me feel refreshed.
In fact, the most beautiful place in Dongli Lake is the trail around the lake, with lush vegetation and shady trees. Walking on the trail, facing the breeze, the lake is like a mirror, sparkling, water and sky are the same, and the lake is glimpsed.
In addition, there are water trapeze, water cable bridge, water cabin, speedboat, motorboat and other recreational projects by the lake, and there are ice sail, ice cart, sledge and other ice projects in winter, providing visitors with one-stop services of eating, living, traveling and entertainment.

7. Shijia Courtyard
Shijia Courtyard, located in the center of Yangliuqing, was originally the residence of Shiyuanshi, one of the eight famous Tianjin families in the late Qing Dynasty, covering an area of more than 6,000 square meters, including a building area of 2,900 square meters. The main hall faces south and consists of twelve courtyards of Ming and Qing styles, which can be compared with the Qiao Courtyard in Shanxi and is known as the first house in North China.
Shi Yuanshi, famous in Tianjin in the late Qing Dynasty and with strong economic strength, was also known as the richest man in western Tianjin at that time. As the richest man in Jinxi, he naturally attaches great importance to his living environment, and this Shijia Courtyard was built by Shi Yuanshi. The whole courtyard is made of brick and wood, with exquisite stone carvings, luxurious and noble, which is a typical architectural style of northern quadrangles.
Facing the gate is a spacious tunnel, which forms the central axis of the compound. There are five gatehouses on the axis, which gradually rise from south to north, which means to rise step by step. In addition, each gate has three steps, which means three steps in a row.
There are five courtyards on both sides of the central axis from south to north. The East Courtyard is an inner house and three sets of quadrangles, which are used by the main people. It is equipped with study, accounting room, living room, Yuanyang hall, bedroom, etc. The layout is exquisite and the workmanship is exquisite. Yangliuqing New Year pictures, wood carvings, clay sculptures, brick carvings and other traditional Tianjin small objects are also displayed.
The West Courtyard is an outer house, mainly used for reception, with living room, warm hall, theater, ancestral hall, etc., most of which have been restored to their original furnishings. There is also a Sanjin Courtyard in the west of the West Courtyard, which is a private school specially built for the children of the Courtyard to go to school, which shows that the big families at that time attached importance to education.
Compared with the inner house, the outer house is more exquisite in design and meticulous in workmanship, especially in the living room. There is also a big ceiling in the courtyard to protect guests from the wind and rain before entering the house. The theater in the compound is spacious, and it is the largest residential theater in the north. It can entertain hundreds of people at the same time, and famous Peking Opera artists Sun Juxian and Tan Xinpei have all performed here.
Here, you can not only taste the exquisite traditional architecture in the north, but also understand the history of the rise and fall of feudal families. You can also take retro photos according to your personal preferences. From the living room, drawing room, bedroom, theater, Buddhist temple to stables, the overall layout, construction style and supporting decoration of Shijia Courtyard all reflect the cultural relics and customs at that time in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The Shijia Courtyard has now been turned into the Yangliuqing Museum. In addition to enjoying the ancient buildings, you can also learn about Yangliuqing New Year pictures, Tianjin brick carvings, clay figurines, Zhang Caisu, folk paper cuts and other folk handicrafts. Of course, you can buy them back when you meet your favorite ones.

8. ghost city, Jizhou
Ghost city, usually referred to as wind erosion landform or Yadan landform, is a barren place. After years of baptism, under the tempering of yellow sand and wind and rain, strange sand dunes and stone forests have gradually formed.
Ghost city in Jizhou, like Namco in Nanjing, is a landscape formed by abandoned mines. The ground is full of ravines of different shades, the exposed rocks are grotesque by the strong wind, and colorful stones can be seen from time to time on the hillside, adding a bit of mystery to the scene like hell.
Ghost city is a small area, about two square kilometers. It is the scar left by a large number of dredging and mining medical stones in the 1970s and 1980s, just like the desert Gobi, and like the creepy ghost city, which has both the destruction of Yadan landform and the ever-changing granite landform.
Of course, the place names of such scenic spots are also an exaggeration, in order to remind people of the Gobi in the west, and let this rare rough placer ruin glow with new life again.
After years of mining, these sandstone mines have unconsciously left a number of strange peaks and rocks, cliffs, hills, stone pillars, gullies and pools, as if they were a barren land. Between the ravines, there is a clear pool, blue waves rippling and cliffs reflecting, as if it were a natural geological park.
Whether ghost city is fun or not is a thousand words. It's mainly a natural landscape, which feels ordinary without taking pictures, but unlike ordinary scenic spots, there is no artificial carving here, and all kinds of rock walls are spectacular.
When you visit ghost city, you must choose a sunny day. The sunshine is colorful, and any photo you take is a blockbuster. If you are lucky enough to find the old objects left in those years, the background will be enriched immediately, and a picture full of vicissitudes and sense of time will be formed instantly.

9. Taohuadi
Peach Blossom Dike, or Peach Blossom Garden, is mainly composed of three parks: Peach Blossom Garden, Taoshi Garden and Beiyang Garden. You can enjoy it alone or play together. This is a tourist park with the theme of peach blossom.
According to historical records, Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty passed through this place by cruise ship, and saw peach trees on both sides of the strait dancing and flowers overflowing. He was immediately delighted, ordered the cruise ship to dock and personally went ashore for sightseeing, and rode into the city. If you are in such a good mood, it is natural to sing poems against you, or to write two poems in a row. Now you have hidden them in the Peach Blossom Garden, and those who are interested can naturally look for them. At the same time, Qianlong gave this place the Peach Blossom Dike, which has been in use ever since.
After several wars, it was seriously damaged until it was rebuilt in the 1980 s and named Peach Blossom Garden, but locals still used to call it Peach Blossom Dike. There is also a stone tablet where Qianlong boarded the site, which can relive the history and experience the historical picture of Qianlong pointing out the country and chanting poems.
The Peach Blossom Garden is built around the North Canal, with pavilions, pavilions and rockeries. It is pleasing to the eye that there are nearly 1,000 peach trees and weeping willows among them. Every spring, weeping willows help the wind and get drunk, leaving the English colorful and charming, and unconsciously disappearing into it, which makes people feel relaxed and lingering.
The first thing I saw when I entered the park was two magnificent archways, with a white marble carved between them to offer my birthday. Passing through Yingchun Garden, you are greeted by the peach blossom pavilion surrounded by painted corridors, which is antique and poetic.
Taoshi Garden is a unique place with a quiet environment. There are many kinds of peach trees, pear trees, magnolia trees, begonia and so on. Walking among them, the fragrance is attractive. Especially the deep bamboo forest brings coolness. As the name implies, the symbolic landscape of Taoshi Garden is a poem wall, so it's nice to sing poems and paint, and enjoy wine tasting and flowers.
Beiyang Garden, located on the right bank of the North Canal, is also a part of Taohua Dike. Historically, it is a part of Xigu armory, located in the narrow strip west of the south and north river bridges of the North Canal, and is called Beiyang Garden because it is adjacent to Beiyang University and Beiyang Bridge. It closely links the history and culture of Beiyang University with the garden landscape, creating a scenic spot combining nature and humanity.

10, Xishuangtang Village
Xishuangtang Village, located on the west bank of the South Canal and adjacent to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, is a rare folk custom village with beautiful environment and charming scenery. In ancient times, this was the dock of the canal, and merchants from the south to the north came in an endless stream. At that time, there was a saying: there is paradise on the top, Suzhou and Hangzhou on the bottom, and besides Beijing, there are several ponds.
After careful construction, Xishuangtang Village perfectly combines classical charm with modern atmosphere, and has built Lotus Pond, Dongwutai Temple, Antique Shopping Street, Fenghuangtai Cultural Square, Style Painting and Calligraphy Street and other attractions, which are simple and unpretentious.
Dongwutai Temple, founded in the Hongwu period of Ming Dynasty, has five main halls, 20 partial halls and supporting meditation rooms. The gatehouse is carved with white marble, with ninety-nine buddhas and ninety-nine dragons, which means that 99 is one. There is a Jinshui Bridge between the gatehouse and the main hall, and a release pond is under the bridge. Daxiong Hall is an all-wood structure, which is the only antique wooden building in North China.
Antique shopping street is a two-story retro block. The shops along the street are blue bricks and tiles, and the arches are upturned, which is a typical Ming and Qing style. The small bridge in front of the door is flowing, and the roadside trees are evergreen, showing the natural pastoral scenery.
Style Painting and Calligraphy Street takes the Tang and Song styles as the theme, and * * * has set up 58 relief stone pillars, mounting 300 Tang poems and eight paintings, which is 2,000 meters long and is a first-class cultural exchange center in Tianjin. Below the book gallery is a painting and calligraphy exchange center, which forms a cultural corridor of several kilometers with the antique shopping street and Lotus Pond.
Lotus pond is located between an antique shopping street and a painting and calligraphy street. There are many varieties of lotus in the pond, with two winding corridors and a quaint ornamental pavilion in the middle, which can not only view the scenery, but also provide visitors with a rest. Surrounded by exotic flowers and grasses, it is lush, with rockeries and waterfalls beside the pond. When enjoying the lotus in spring and summer, pavilions, winding, red flowers and green trees, clear water and blue sky make people feel refreshed and relaxed.
Xishuangtang village once had a slightly obscure history, the most famous of which was Shuangtang steamed stuffed bun. In the past, there was a local saying that Shuangtang steamed stuffed bun, if you don't eat it, you will regret it. Is it puzzling? The thing is, in the past, there was a Han family's steamed bun shop on the dock, and most of the diners were wharf trackers. The Korean family's steamed buns were thin and stuffed, big and round, and the price was cheap. In the long run, they had a good reputation, and they regretted not eating them. However, Han's steamed stuffed buns are vegetarian, and a few stuffing made of cabbage are full. After eating, the trackers continue to pull the fiber. Because there is no oil and water, they will soon be hungry. Steamed buns are not anti-hungry, so they might as well not eat them. They regret eating them, so there is this saying. Of course, these are all old calendars, and today's Shuangtang steamed buns have long been a thing of the past, with various varieties, and they no longer only sell cabbage steamed buns that are not resistant to hunger.
