Tianjin, China
6 places worth your time in Tianjin, with what each is actually like and when to go.
Nine former concessions left a district of British, French, Italian and German villas, best seen on foot.
The only former Italian concession in Asia, restored and now full of restaurants.
A ferris wheel built into a road bridge over the Hai River — the only one of its kind.
A reconstructed Qing street with the Tianhou temple to the sea goddess at its centre.
The 'Eye' library with terraced bookshelf walls — striking, and partly trompe-l'œil.
A colonial villa encrusted with millions of pieces of broken porcelain by its owner. Genuinely strange.
