I have been in Tianjin only a short time, but would appreciate advice/suggestions on off-the-beaten-track places of interest for visitors who will be arriving soon. Thanks !!
EDIT: I have looked online, but personal recommendations are usually more interesting !

Can't help you out, but I wanted to answer before Silva...
Hmm. I spent 2 nights in Tianjin and can't say there's a great deal going on. I did enjoy the concession on the riverbank and the European building area (forget the name). The Italian Town is pretty fake and touristic. Bought some fancy Italian chocolates - 5 for 50 RMB. Ate them all in one go and was sick. Mental.
sorrel:
thanks - i'll take a look at these places, but i'll avoid the chocolates
I visited Tinjin once and i'm pretty sure the place I visited was a lesser known place. Although the tour bus said the place we visited was supposed to be famous or important in some way couldn't see much going on there. It was a big open space they had several little stores and they did actually have some interesting art pieces there...can't remember the place, but it was somewhere in Tinjin....Thereis a look of Tianjin...
Well, you can travel to Beidaihe (seaside resort), part of Qinhuangdao town, just 2 hours away from Tianjin. In Tianjin there isn't much to see, except the Italian town and some good parks. Have you been to Beining Park? It's near Tianjin North railway station. It's very beautiful and has some nice old towers and pagodas. Erm....Try to discover small towns near Tianjin (Shanhaiguan for instance), it's cheap and there's the sea! I live and teach in Tianjin university, so if you are interested, contact me, we could discover places together or just walk around Tianjin. My QQ is 2244564534@qq.com. My name's Olga.
