Beyond the glitzy skyscrapers, Beicheng Road gossips secrets of old Tianjin through its well-preserved archway alleys and red-brick courtyards. The neo-lit 'Kuang Ancestral Hall Ruins' morphs into an artsy hotspot by night. What steals the show? Hand-pulled noodle stalls coexisting with specialty coffee roasters - proof of the city's vibrant duality.
