Most of the roads in Tianjin have a cycle lane, some form part of the highway, others are separated from the motor vehicles. Bicycling is certainly a great way to see the attractions of this city. You can cycle past the canals of Tianjin, pedal your way across the bridges that cross the rivers or push your cycle through the markets or while visiting the Italian styled area of the city. This month issue of Tianjin Plus, you can find some advices and routes of how you could spend a day or weekend visiting Tianjin and exploring the city by bicycle.
Visiting Tianjin from Beijing is like a completely different change of scenery, where Tianjin’s historical past as a former foreign concessions port has left behind several styles of European architecture, some delicious styles of food, all in a relaxing atmosphere, much different to its near neighbour, in the bustling nation’s capital city of Beijing.
