Twin Cities of Mesmerizing Moon (Nanshi)
Nanshi Food Street and Nanshi Hotels Street,
which mainly feature buildings in styles of imperial
palaces, are two extremely alluring spots in Tianjin..
The Food Street is a particularly favorite haunt in
days of bright moon and gentle breezes. You will love
to come here for delicacies. Here, you get a true feel
of Chinese culinary delights. If you live a night in
the adjacent Hotels Street, you may find it a more rewarding
experience to have a hotel that provides a variety of
accommodation facilities to suit your individual needs
and preferences. People in Tianjin give these two places
a name: Twin Cities of Mesmerizing Moon.
Nanshi Food Street
 
Over 100 restaurants housed in various palace-like
buildings cover an area of 40,000 square meters. This
"food castle" offers every kind of delicacy imaginable.
Nanshi Food Street is located in Heping District
of Tianjin. The name Nanshi means "south city." It
is an old name. Before the founding of PRC, Nanshi was
also called "Sanbuguan", which means that nothing is
illegal. All trades were prospering, including opium,
gambling, prostitution, street performances, snacks,
etc. The streets were narrow with shabby houses. Nanshi
was actually a haven for all kinds of evils. But today,
everything has changed. Nanshi offers an opportunity
to experience both the history and food.
 Nanshi
Hotels Street To the west of Nanshi Food street
is Nanshi Hotels Street comprising a group of elegant
buildings in traditional styles. Covering a total area
of 41,000 square meters, these buildings have blue bricks,
red poles, glazed tiles, upturned eaves, bucket arches,
carved beams and painted rafters. In the north and in
the south are two main hotels. On the first floor of
one of the main hotels are a lobby in classic style
and a luxury restaurant that can seat 600 diners. From
the second to the fifth floor are well-equipped guestrooms
with 1400 beds, two big meeting rooms and eight small
meeting rooms. In the basement are parking lots, warehouses
and extensive exhibition halls.
