Introduction
Tianjin china,s 3 rd largest  city is located 120 kilometers southeast of Beijing on the Bohai Sea, a historic city and the largest industrial base and trade centre in north China. Tianjin got its name from the great Ming Emperor Yongle (1402-1424 AD), who crossed the Hai River on his way to take the imperial throne in Beijing from his nephew. In 1404, the city formerly known as Zhigu ("Straight Port") was renamed in honor of Yongle's passage. the Yellow River and the Grand Canal  are famous, which delivered huge quantities of goods, including imperial tribute rice from much of China . When the European colonial powers began to expand into China in the nineteenth century, Tianjin was caught between European imperial ambition and the struggles of the weakening Qing Dynasty (1614-1911). In 1856, Qing troops boarded a merchant vessel in Tianjin flying the British flag and took a dozen prisoners on charges of piracy and opium smuggling. This provided the British and French with a pretext to send in gunboats, which overpowered Chinese defenses with relative ease. The 1858 Treaty of Tianjin granted colonial powers broad concessions in the city, and it was not long before Britain, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Belgium and Japan all established their own self-enclosed trading bases outside the old Chinese city.There is The Xingang Harbor, the largest commercial commodities port in north China , owns the largest dock for containers. Kites and New Year pictures of Yangliuqing are very famous. Every year one very famous kite festival held one time in a year.
