Heping

Heping means peace, and while the urban excitement of this most central Tianjin district may not be peaceful, it surely is a site not to be missed. As the former concession area for Great Britain and France, its streets are lined with an eccentric mix of contemporary skyscrapers and double-take colonial buildings. Visitors might choose between the ultra-modern Renaissance Tianjin Hotel or the wonderfully regal if slightly shabby Tianjin First Hotel, built in 1922, as home base for a stay in Tianjin. Both provide quick access to famous restaurants, including the Bader Brauhaus and the Goubuli Dumpling Restaurant. The Tianjin Concert Hall, the Art Museum, the Catholic Church, famous Ancient Culture Street and the warren-like hutongs of the Antique Market are all within Heping as well.
