Hai River

Description:

• It does not require a lot of walking along this meandering river to realize that Tianjin's city planners sure know what they are doing. Elaborate flower gardens, cascading fountains, wild sculptures and manicured parks line both sides of the river making it the perfect location for an introductory stroll. The city skyline borders the river, offering an enlightening mix of colonial and contemporary architecture, including the world-praised Wanghailou Church. If time allows board a day long tour boat.
