Aerial photography of Tianjin cityscape, capturing all the beautiful scenery—it's stunning

✈️

As an aerial photography enthusiast, coming to Tianjin is definitely a visual feast! This city, blending European-style architecture with a modern metropolis, looks like a flowing landscape painting from the sky~

📍Top recommended aerial photography spots:
1️⃣ Jiefang Bridge + Century Clock Square
Address: Intersection of Sanjing Road and Haihe East Road, Hebei District, Tianjin
Opening hours: Open all day
This is Tianjin’s city landmark. The steel structure of Jiefang Bridge contrasts sharply with the European style of the Century Clock under the aerial lens, especially spectacular when the lights come on at night—perfect for aerial shots.

2️⃣ Jinwan Square
Address: No. 48 Jiefang North Road, Heping District, Tianjin
Opening hours: Open all day
Here you can see the complete skyline, where towering buildings perfectly blend with the winding Haihe River. It’s best to shoot at dusk when the sunlight casts beautiful reflections on the glass curtain walls.

3️⃣ Five Great Avenues Scenic Area
Address: No. 83 Chongqing Road, Heping District, Tianjin
Opening hours: Open all day
A must-visit for aerial photography lovers! Hundreds of European-style buildings with diverse styles look like vintage postcards from the air. The best angle is a 45-degree downward shot from above Minyuan Square.

4️⃣ Tianjin Eye Ferris Wheel
Address: Yongle Bridge at the Sancha River Mouth, Hongqiao District, Tianjin
Opening hours: 9:30 AM–9:30 PM (Mon-Fri), 9:00 AM–10:00 PM (weekends)
Be sure to try shooting directly from above the Ferris wheel. The circular outline combined with the S-shaped bend of the Haihe River creates an absolutely stunning composition.

📷 Exclusive aerial photography tips:
1. The light between 7-9 AM is best for shooting European-style buildings
2. The outline of modern buildings is clearest between 4-6 PM
3. Bring plenty of spare batteries—Tianjin’s beauty will keep you shooting nonstop
4. Try both vertical downward shots and 45-degree angle compositions

🍲 Local food recommendations:
When you’re tired of shooting, head to "Qishilin" restaurant in Hebei District (No. 25 Ziyou Road, Hebei District, Tianjin). This century-old restaurant’s Eight Treasure Tofu and Guoba Cai (crispy rice vegetable dish) are amazing!

🏨 Accommodation recommendations:
It’s recommended to stay at hotels along the Haihe River, such as The Ritz-Carlton Tianjin. Not only is transportation convenient, but you can also capture fantastic city views right from the hotel terrace~
