Great Wall at Huangya Pass (Huangyaguan Changcheng)

Less known to foreigners, another section of the Great Wall also has a Museum, the Beiji Temple, and Bagua City with the Bagua Labyrinth.

We arrived via cruise ship in Tianjin and decided to visit this part of the wall as we were being escorted into Beijing, and are so glad that we did. It is nearly a 2 hour drive from the port to the wall, which ended up adding about 1 hour of our overall drive to Beijing, but was so worth it. We stopped near the wall and enjoyed eating at a local countryside restaurant where the food is tasty and plenty and very cheap before walking the wall. This section of the wall is not crowded at all and photos of it rival the ones that we took at other areas of the wall. Glad we decided to take this detour on our trip from Tianjin to Beijing!

Tianjin Museum

Reviewed By cdemma - Melbourne, Australia

Free entry, just like all Chinese museums as far as I know. Not a big museum but plenty of treasures to appreciate and learn about background. If you come on a right day, there are guides around to explain the history and stories surround the exhibition items. The place is always quiet, unless it's during the public holiday period.

Five Great Avenues

Reviewed By BrandonNg - Singapore, Singapore

I would recommend anyone travelling to Tianjin city to set aside at least half a day to walkaround the old cultural area. Most of the buildings are Italian styled in the 1920s and have lots of history behind it. The Tianjin government has identified the area as a historical zone and you will be able to read about the area as you walk around. There is a large central area where most of the restaurants are located. There is even an underground mall where you can spend some time exploring. As the area is a tourist zone, most of the restaurants are priced accordingly. There are many food place that caters to the different budget travellers, you need to spend some time exploring.
