Both are iconic buildings of Tianjin, located near the train station, and can be visited last, so you can head to wait for your train afterward. They are beautifully lit at night and very lively. Great for taking photos!
7️⃣ Scenery along both sides of the Haihe River - Pic 17
As the name implies, Jiefang Bridge must have something to do with liberation. It was the time of the battle of Pingjin. Now in the peace era, the style of Jiefang Bridge is completely different. Especially the scenery at night is really beautiful! Beautiful scenery! The neon flashing light, the figure of the beautiful, all are lingering and not thinking.
Worldwide, there are more bridges called Jiefang Bridge. Tianjin's Jiefang Bridge is among them with a relatively high profile. The earliest known bridge was seen from the film showing the battle of Pingjin. The current Jiefang Bridge is extremely beautiful, especially the night view is even more beautiful.
There is a steel Haihe Bridge near Tianjin Station, known by locals as "French Bridge, World Bridge", now officially known as "Jiefang Bridge", the bridge was built in 1927 and has been repaired in recent years. The big iron bridge seen in the TV drama about the liberation of Tianjin by the battle of Pingjin is here, and this bridge witnessed the liberation of Tianjin.
" Jiefang Bridge " is located on the Haihe River between Tianjin Railway Station (East Station) and Jiefang North Road. It is a bridge that can be opened with a full steel structure and was built in 1927. The bridge is97.64 meters long and the bridge surface is19.5 meters wide. It is not only one of the iconic buildings in Tianjin, but also one of the only three bridges left in the Haihe span bridge that can be opened. " Jiefang Bridge " Original name: Wanguo Bridge, that is, the meaning of the international bridge, because Tianjin at that time had nine countries concessions such as Britain, France, Russia, the United States, Germany, Japan, Italy, Austria, Bi, etc. This bridge is located at the entrance of the French Concession, so it is also known as: France Bridge. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the bridge was renamed: Zhongzheng Bridge, after the liberation of Tianjin, it was officially renamed " Jiefang Bridge " and has been used to this day. On July 1, 2017, the bridge that has been repaired restored the original opening function.
Jiefang Bridge is really a unique bridge. When the light show starts at night, it is simply beautiful, and the major festivals will also witness the opening of history and the separation mode. It is so beautiful.
