Haihe River, meandering through the downtown area of the city, with a total length of 75km, is a must-see scenic axis of Tianjin.

Along the river, there are many historic sites and charming views. The Wanghailou Church, first built in 1869, is the relic of well-known 'Tianjin Church Case' of Chinese modern history. The Tianjin Railway Station, former 'Laolongtou Railway Station' built in 1888, was reconstructed in 1987. The alongshore Haihe Park, with a 19.8-km-long bank and an area of 2.3 hectares, is covered with grass, trees, flowers, waterfalls and dotted with modern designed bronze sculptures. Many unique bridges crossing the river link the beautiful scenery of both banks in a whole.
