AmCham's walking tours have explored a number of former foreign concessions in Tianjin and as the weather warms. We are off to explore more old alleys and find impressive buildings from Tianjin's past.
For this walking tour we will head into the former Japanese concession to understand more about the densely packed, vibrant, but less well visited area of the city. After regional hostilities, the Japanese were granted land in Tientsin in 1896 and again in 1900. The area became home to a large number of Japanese and Chinese residents. Most famously, former Emperor Puyi lived there during the concession period in a couple different homes. Many buildings remain from the concession period and our walk will explore both residential and commercial neighborhoods.
The tour will be led by Michael Hart, Chairman of the Tianjin Executive committee of the American Chamber of Commerce in China. He has been exploring the alleys of Tianjin for well over a decade and looks forward to helping you see a side of Tianjin you didn't know existed.
The walking tour will be approximately 2.5 hours. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather. The tour will end around the Heping Rd and we will provide lunch place suggestions.
