Well I have only been to the outskirt of Nanjin City when I went to came back from Xuzhou via Nanjin. We were having lunch there for like less than an hour. How I wish to have another chance to go and visit the city some day and have a look at the first Yangtze River some day if possible with my wife and my child or friends and relatives.

hi~~I am from tianjin~~nice to meet u~~ Tianjin simply known as Jin is situated in the northeastern part of North China Great Plain, bordering the Bohai Sea in the east, leaning against the Yuanshan Mountain in the north, with its terrain traversing the Haihe River through north and south. It has become the hub of communications of North China and the gateway of the capital city. Ancient Tianjin in a Painting Tianjin was once part of Bohai Sea in the remote antiquity. During the Pre-Qin days, Tianjin once belonged to the Yan and Qi kingdoms of the Warring States. In the Western Han Dynasty, the Tinajin region mainly was part of the Yuyang prefecture, Quanzhou county, the Bohai prefecture and Zhangwu county. Foreign Fightship Showed Power in 1900s The original name of Tianjin was "Zhigu". It was changed into Tianjin in early Ming Dynasty. In 1398, Zhu Di dispatched troops from Beijing in the pretext of "pacification of rebellion", and defeated Zhu Yun Wen and became Emperor. In commemoration of the place where he crossed the river moving southward, he renamed the place "Tianjin" by imperial order, meaning "the place from where the emperor crossed the river" and stationed "Tianjin Guards" there. From then on Tianjin is also called "Tianjin Guards". Tianjin was built in the 2nd year (1404) of the reign of Emperor Yong Le of the Ming Dynasty. Old Drum Tower Street Tianjin was a seaport and an important gateway of the capital city during the Qing Dynasty. The transport of grain by water to the capital continued to develop and it became the economic center in the north.
