Tianjin is the fourth largest city in China. Over 11 million people live in the greater metropolitan area. It is Beijings main port and is only a 90-100 minute drive to the Southeast. It reminded me of Detroit. it is a major producer of electronics and bicycles and cars. it is very cold. It was much more dirty and gritty than beijing and more flat and less attractive. The architecture was drab. The wind was biting. a handful of chinese flew kites in the large square in front of the tianjin museum. The video is not sharp, but note the dillapidated amusement park rides.
the tianjin museum is shaped like a giant '80s minimal crane. some chinese danced and played in a circle in front of it.
