Located north of Heping District, it almost feels calm here compared to downtown's hypersonic pace. The four-star Holiday Inn and the Ocean Hotel are prized room and board sites. Both are within walking distance of Ancient Culture Street and the architecturally impressive Notre Dame des Victories. Beining Park, home of the celebrated Zhiyuan Pagoda, is just a hop away by taxi. Ancient Monastery of Deep Compassion, Tiajin's most important Buddhist temple, sits near the meeting point of the Xinkai and the Hai Rivers.
