As we explore more about the former foreign concessions that were located in Tianjin in the early 1900s. In this walk, we will focus on the heart of the former French and British concessions.

We will begin our tour at the Jiefang Bridge and proceed along Jiefang Road, which was once one of old Tianjin's main centers of commerce and activity. Along the way, we will pass by historic banks, trading houses, government buildings, clubs, and religious structures.

We then proceed to the Wudadao (Five Boulevards) Area, a former residential district, before concluding with lunch (Optional). Along the way, discover why Tianjin attracted such a unique mix of people and how its foreign concessions left a distinctive architectural and cultural legacy.
