General presentation
Binhai and the Haihe estuary
Contemporary architecture, memory of sea forts and wetlands make up the port facade of Tianjin.
Binhai Library, Dagu Forts and National Maritime Museum give the most telling landmarks of Binhai and mouth of Haihe. Together, they form a destination where urban life, the coastline, heritage and wetlands meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform setting.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Bibliothèque de Binhai
The library is organized around a spherical auditorium and white stands that form a vast interior landscape. The most photographed spaces are very frequented; the reading rooms show a more functional building.
Culture and heritage
Forts de Dagu
Dagu's forts controlled the mouth of the Haihe and were at the heart of several 19th-century clashes. The museum and the remains allow the modern port to be placed in a complex military history.
Museum
maritime national Museum
This great contemporary museum traces navigation, marine science and ancient relations of China with the oceans. The collections are vast and far from the center; plan a half-day with the journey.
