Tianjin's Rich History
Historically, Tianjin has been an important transportation hub dating back to the Mongol Dynasty (1206-1368). It was a cosmopolitan center long before the European community arrived in the 19th century. From 1958 to 1967, Tianjin was the capital of Hebei Province.
Tianjin is the major port of China
Tianjin is China's major port as well as a manufacturing hub. It is famous for handicraft products, terra-cotta sculptures, hand-painted woodblock prints and seafood. Despite being located near the sea, the climate here is continental, due to which rapid changes in the weather are seen.
The third largest city in China
Talking about population, this city with a population of 14.7 million is the third largest city in China. Most of the population in Tianjin lives in urban areas. The population density here is between 6000 and 29,000 persons per square kilometer. Before 1949, most people were engaged in business or service work, but today about half the population is engaged in industries and the rest in public services.
