..................................................................................................................................................................................... Ancient Culture Street ..................................................................................................................................................................................... |
| Like its counterpart in Beijing, the famous Liulichang, the ancient culture street reflects the authority's effort to recreate an ancient Chinese street of the 19th century in modern high-rise Tianjin. Although everything here is not real, you can still appreciate the protruding balconies and carved columns of the red and green wooden shops with their nicely tiled roofing. "Antiques" here are generally expensive, but if you are a connoisseur of bargaining, you can still find some good souvenirs at a reasonable price. |
