Tianjin is a good budget-travel destination. The prices are generally low and the people overwhelmingly friendly and laid-back. Tianjin has all the conveniences of a big city with the atmosphere of a small town (if that’s possible for a metropolis of 9m). Though few in tourist spots, Tianjin's main attraction is its food. To be specific, Tianjin is most famous for four types of food:
1) Gou-buli Baozi (pork/veggie buns)
2) 18 Street Ma Hua (hard twisted churro-like sticks)
3) Er-duo (some salty/sweet ear-shaped pastries)
4) Jian-bing Guozi (breakfast burrito with oil-stick in the middle)
Other recommended sights:
Ancient Culture Street where you can get a good bargain. Bin Jiang Street and Food Street. From TV Tower, tourists canget a great view of the city. You can even spot Nankai and Tianjin University from up there.
