TianJin Trip: HaiHe River

After walking around the the shopping area near the the Xikai Cathedral, we took a cab to Dagu Bridge. According to reviews, the design of the bridge is called sun and moon arches (not sure why) and it has won the prestigious Eugene Fido Award.

We stayed at the banks of the HaiHe River until it's time to board our train. Liza's too tired to walk (and we've used all our energy looking for the Food Street earlier).

Facing the Dagu Bridge is the Liberation Bridge or Jiefang Qiao. This 80 year old bridge is a famous tourist attaction in Tianjin. It is also home to the Century Bell, which was constructed in order to ring in the new millennium.

The bell is 40 meters in height and weighs more than 150 tons, making it the largest and heaviest bell so far recorded throughout China.

We went inside the train station once it has gotten dark because it's chilly outside. Then we're back to Beijing.
