Binjiang Road

Binjiang Road

Tianjin’s most bustling commercial pedestrian street, named for its location along the Haihe River, is lined with international brand stores and a must-visit shopping destination for trendsetters. Binjiang Road is one of the busiest commercial streets in Tianjin. Stretching 2,094 meters from Zhang Zizhong Road by the Haihe River southwestward to Nanjing Road. It was built in two phases: the section from Zhang Zizhong Road to Dagu Road was constructed in 1886, and the section from Dagu Road to Nanjing Road was built in 1900. In 1946, the two sections were merged and officially named Binjiang Road. This street is home not only to time-honored businesses such as Quanye Market, Zhongyuan Company, Daoxiangcun Food Store, Hengdeli Watch Shop, Guangming Cinema, and Dengyinglou Restaurant, but also features newly built malls (like Binjiang Commercial Building, Jili Mansion, Mira Mall, and International Mall) and shops. In April 1987, after the section from Shandong Road to Nanjing Road was designated as a small commodities market, individual stalls sprang up like mushrooms on the western section of Binjiang Road, attracting a constant stream of visitors. By nightfall, the area lights up with colorful illumination, creating a vibrant new night market scene in Tianjin.
