On Dec 25, the "Tianjin Port Impression" Experience Hall, part of Tianjin Port Group's port-industry-city integration project, officially opened at Tianjin's Old Culture Street, a national 5A-level tourist attraction.

According to him, plans are also underway to expand the product range to include frozen beef and other fresh goods.

The "Tianjin Port Impression" Experience Hall will serve as a dynamic platform for showcasing Tianjin Port's cultural heritage, hosting exhibitions, and promoting sales of port-related products. It will also strengthen the connection between urban and port tourism. Future plans include developing custom cultural products, hosting port-themed events, and offering expanded interactive experiences.

"By April next year, a direct shuttle service from Old Culture Street to Dongjiang Bay Scenic Area is expected to be launched," said Feng, "visitors will be able to explore the historic street, tour the port, enjoy the beach, and embark on a cruise, fully experiencing the unique charm of tourism in this port city."
