This is a good place to buy souvenirs or just walk around the streets & take pictures. Definitely good experience.

very little of interest to buy. Junky products that can be bought in Beijing markets at better price and with a much bigger choice.

I reality this is a new site made to look old, or at least that's the way I see it. Close to a riverside walk, so a convenient place to drop in to and take a look around. Take your time if shopping and dint forever to bargain. There will be multiple versions of items up and down the street.

getting too commercial... not really attractive... though the snacks offered by the hawker stalls outside at the entrances of the street were good.

You'll get -at low prices- the souvenirs you were looking for, have plenty spots to get a bite and get an impression of life in good old China.

Typical tourist spot where you can get a lot of typical chinese items, like brushes or hand carved chops with your name etc

This street offers all you want to see in Tianjin, from local handcraft to local food. I recommend this be on the top of your list.

This area is where the Chinese locals go u will get your cheaper stuff here bought some beautiful silk material.

I enjoyed strolling in this area. The merchants were friendly and not pushy or grabby. They didn't yell at you to come into their shop areas. Although this was the National Day holiday week, the crowds weren't too bad. Lots of old and new Chinese trinkets to look at and/or purchase.
