The Best Markets in Tianjin
Though Tianjin has rapidly developed into an economic powerhouse of skyscrapers, megamalls and hotels, the city still retains few original open markets. These markets are one of the few places in Tianjin that will still make you feel like you’re not at home. As China has been the manufacturing centre of the world for the last couple of decades, you can buy a multitude of goods at wholesale prices and plenty more.
