- Porcelain House - In the morning, a private driver and guide will meet you in the lobby of your city center hotel. The first destination is the Porcelain House, a French-style colonial villa from the 1920s adorned with thousands of pieces of ancient porcelain. Beyond its striking exterior, the 5,000-square-yard (4,200-square-meter) interior hosts a museum of porcelain and antiques, featuring stunning marble carvings, crystal, and semi-precious stones from the collection of the owner, Zhang Lianzhi.
- Five Great Avenues - Next, explore more of Tianjin’s international history with a visit to the Five Great Avenues (Wudadao), an area boasting over 2,000 garden-style villas constructed by occupying powers during the 1920s and 1930s. Consider taking a horse-drawn carriage ride around the area (at your own expense) to fully appreciate the architectural beauty.
Your guide will introduce you to Tianjin’s cuisine during lunch at a local restaurant: as China’s fourth largest city, Tianjin’s food is renowned throughout the country.
- Ferris wheel, Eye of Tianjin - After lunch, visit a modern landmark of Tianjin: the Tianjin Eye. This 394-foot (120-meter) ferris wheel is uniquely built over the Yongle Bridge, making it the first and only observation wheel constructed above a bridge. Each of the 64 passenger capsules can accommodate 8 passengers, allowing for a maximum capacity of 768 passengers per hour, with a full rotation taking 30 minutes. Enjoy breathtaking views extending up to 25 miles (40 kilometers) from its highest point.
- Ancient Culture Street (Gu Wenhua Jie) - The final stop is Tianjin’s Ancient Culture Street, the city’s premier shopping destination for traditional Chinese goods. In addition to the Tianhou Temple and shoe museum, there are nearly 100 stores offering items from embroidery and calligraphy to tea sets, seals, and figurines, along with Tianjin specialties. Your guide will ensure your return to the hotel at the end of the day.
