Back downtown around Heping Lu, there are many chances to experience Tianjin's famed foods, including Goubuli Baozi and twisted fried dough (quifaxiang mahua), before leisurely walking back along the Haihe and stopping to watch the evening cruises. We joined the crowds listening to impromptu local concerts; reaching Shizilin Bridge to photograph the Tianjin Eye before returning to my 20th floor room to look again at how the 'Heavenly Ford' has transformed into a 'City of Lights'!
