Tianjin was one of the first cities that got in touch with Western civilizations in modern times. Many foreign style buildings, especially those in Wudadao, have been built and preserved since Tianjin was opened as a treaty port in 1860. It was the “political backyard” of Beijing and home to the presidents and premiers of the Republic of China (1912-1949) and some forerunners of revolution. Each residence of celebrity carries a history and a story about modern China, which forms a tourism brand of “Look at Modern China in Tianjin”.
