Ancient Culture Street

Tianjin Ancient Culture Street, with its Qing Dynasty-style buildings on both sides, is popular in Tianjin. The Queen of the Heaven Palace (Mazu Temple) is located in the center of the street. Hundreds of shops on the streets sell Spring Festival pictures, painted mud sculptures, and four study treasures, including writing brushes, ink sticks, ink slabs and paper (Sibao Hall, Chuangzai Hall), and antiques.

You can taste a number of famous Tianjin snacks on Ancient Culture Street, such as tea soup, a crispy rice dish, and fried cake.
