Introduction:

Tianjin--pioneering seaport metropolis, city of inventive past and unique culture. Inspired, perhaps, by the dancing waters of the Bohai Gulf, Tianjin became a naval pioneer-birth-place of modern shipyards and China's first submarine; a communications pioneer-a post-route to all parts and home of China's first railway, postal service, cables and telephones; a cultural pioneer-with China's first university degree, museum, women's newspaper; a financial pioneer with its own "Wall Street," and industrial pioneer with world-class innovations.
