Food Street
Food Street in Tianjin's Nanshi (Southern Market)
looks like an ancient walled city enclosed by
a circle of neat three-story buildings. There
is a crossroads in the "city", and
at the centre of the crossroads is a musical
fountain. The entire structure is covered with
a glass roof.

In Food Street are over 100 eating places, occupying
more than 40,000 square metres in floor space and
each having its own special dishes of local flavors.
There are Chinese restaurants serving Tianjin and
other schools of cuisine and Western restaurants.
Hotel Street
Hotel Street, close to Cultural Street, is actually
not a street of many hotels. There is only one hotel
in this street. But it is a very special hotel. Its
two buildings on the southern and northern sides of
the street are constructed in a style imitating an
ancient neighborhood - hence the name of the street.
Curios Street
This curios market in Shenyang Street was originally
set up by a neighborhood organization for the exchange
of used goods, and later developed into the largest
market for buying and selling curios in China. There
are over 100 shops and over 300 kiosks and stalls
in the street. The shops, elegantly decorated in classical
Chinese style, deal in a wide range of goods
