As I came to Tianjin mainly on business, I took advantage of an appointment to visit a teacher and went to Starbucks for a while. It's just nine o'clock There are many people in the coffee shop. It seems that there are still more idle people in this big city than in second-tier cities. Sitting in the warm Starbucks, scanning the passing crowds and all kinds of people who drink coffee. Time flies. Homogeneous cafes and homogeneous coffee tastes make people who enjoy coffee in every city look so similar during this time. The only difference is that a slim girl actually asked for a cup of hot water, then added half a bottle of cardamom powder, half a bottle of vanilla powder, half a bottle of cinnamon powder and four bags of sugar to the water, and sat in front of me after fully stirring. Just when I was dumbfounded, I saw this girl take a sip, then added various condiments in the same way, took a sip and adjusted her big black-rimmed glasses. Her face was filled with a satisfied smile, but mine froze with surprise. I really want to go there, in a Tianjin saying: Sister, you drink really well!
This may be the deepest impression left by Tianjin!
Things went well, because Ama, an old classmate who stayed in Tianjin for more than ten years, asked a lot of raiders, and his work place was next to Fifth Avenue, so he chose to visit Fifth Avenue on foot as his first stop to appreciate these beautiful colonial cultural scars left by Eight-Nation Alliance to Tianjin-exquisite foreign buildings.
I have been to many colonial sites or areas with foreign embassies and consulates. Qingdao Badaguan, the Governor's Office; Belgian Embassy in Dongjiaominxiang, Beijing; Nanking Xikang Road; The Bund in Shanghai; Huangpi Road, Wuhan City. It can be said that I have seen many colonial houses and blocks, but Tianjin gives me the impression that the concession area is large, the houses are exquisite and unique, and the protection is also very good. The only thing that makes me unhappy is that I am really ignorant. I don't know the former residences of many celebrities in these houses, except the famous eunuch, and I haven't introduced their lives. In addition, it is very cold in winter in Tianjin, so you can't search one by one with your mobile phone, so it looks very dull.
In other words, a small and unique career is really good. Regardless of its size or name, this Qing Palace must be a landmark building of Fifth Avenue. It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to visit any museums during my trip to Tianjin because today is Monday, Museum Day.
In fact, traveling is mainly about enjoying this process and enjoying different feelings and experiences in different places. In the cold winter, walking on Fifth Avenue, touching those shameful historical sites hundreds of years ago and trying to capture the breath left by everyone who lived here is actually a very happy thing.
On the way, I met a girl who has been walking with me in tandem. She shot everywhere, just like me. Needless to say, she must be a lonely tourist like me, so I chatted with her at the gate of an old inn. She is a graduate student majoring in Chinese in Yanshan University. She came to Tianjin alone to find her classmates, so we walked together on Fifth Avenue.
I said goodbye to my peers, just in time for dinner, and Amar just got off work, so I made an appointment to go to the Italian block for something to eat. Tianjin's first choice is Go believe. I especially like the English name Goubuli, which instantly turns a name that doesn't sound so elegant into an international name with rich connotation and accurate pronunciation. Comparing the English-Chinese translation of The Golden Arch, the difference is not a Himalayan mountain.
This Goubuli steamed stuffed bun is really worthy of the name. 20% discount on thin stuffing. Well-made and delicious. We ate a dozen steamed stuffed buns at once, which was very enjoyable!
Show our warm and handsome Amaru a face!
After lunch, I saw off my grandmother who was rushing to the meeting. I walked along the Haihe River in the streets of Tianjin. Although both the west and Tianjin are in the north, the temperature here is indeed much colder than that in the west. The wide Haihe River is covered with thick ice. Many people smash ice cubes and fish in them. Many people run and walk on the ice and see many old people swimming under the bridge in winter. They are all full of energy, even though they are all in their seventies and eighties. They emerge from the ice water and are as red as carrots.
Downstream, you will unconsciously come to the ancient culture street, which is very similar to Xi 'anmen, but obviously more refined and distinctive than Xi 'anmen. Clay figurine Zhang and Yangliuqing, a century-old shop, have semicolons here, but what about the courtyard gate? Really dare not compliment!
I quickly passed through this old street. Go back to the hotel to rest before dark, and the scenery along the way is not bad. Especially the Bridge, King Kong Bridge, jiefang bridge Bridge and Guangming Bridge, the only iron bridge that can rotate as a whole left a deep impression on people.
This hotel is next to the eye of Tianjin. Take a closer look at Tianjin Eye. How spectacular!
Ama came over in the evening and we watched the night view of Tianjin. It may be because of energy saving and emission reduction, and there are not many outdoor activities in winter, so the lights of many ancient buildings are not turned on, which adds some regrets. However, life is made up of many regrets and surprises. If you have regrets, you will have a reason to come again next time. So, in summer, Wei from Tianjin came again.
