Haihe Riverside Park
Tanggu Riverside Park is an important people-oriented project in Tanggu District aimed at returning the river to the public. It was meticulously designed by world-class architects and jointly developed by the Tanggu Construction Committee and Hongda Industrial Development Co., Ltd. as a modern urban landscape economic zone integrating leisure, entertainment, shopping, and dining. It serves as a flagship project in Tianjin’s comprehensive development of the Haihe River.
The Riverside Park stretches approximately 1 kilometer from North Shanghai Road and Jiefang Road Commercial Pedestrian Street in the north to the Haihe River in the south, covering an area of 130,000 square meters. The design emphasizes a sense of closeness to water and leisure, showcasing the confidence and determination of the people of Tanggu to build a waterfront new city in line with the municipal Party committee and government's strategic plan for the vigorous development of the Haihe River. At the midpoint along the riverbank, there is the nation’s largest riverside fountain, which jets water up to 170 meters high. The riverside area is divided into four sections: a cultural and entertainment zone, a commercial and leisure zone, a green landscape zone, and an elevated landscape zone, all connected by a wooden riverside walkway.
Additionally, the most eye-catching features of the park are the three large cantilevered structures known as “Sails in Blue Sea,” consisting of large, medium, and small frames standing at 100 meters, 70 meters, and 50 meters tall respectively from west to east, located in the first, second, and third scenic areas. These structures resemble sailing ships on the sea, creating a stunning contrast with the blue waters of the Haihe River. Before dragon boat races, the famous cruise ship “Oriental Princess” is also moored on the opposite bank of the Riverside Park, forming a charming visual dialogue with the park.
