Excursion to Tianjin, Beidaihe and Shanhaiguan 1

These are pictures from a weekend excursion via Tianjin to the beginning of the Great Wall at Shanhaiguan



A few buildings are left from when Tianjin was a Concession City...








But now modern architecture dominates...



The Italian Quarter...


Hmmm, Italian?...



The German Quarter...



And, yes, the former Austro-Hungarian Consulate Building...






 

The Austo-Hungarian Quarter...



Next to it a war memorial... 


...and a church...


The reconstructed touristy'Old Town'...





Chinese like gold...
