During Tianjin’s NPC and CPPCC annual session this year, Northeast Tianjin was earmarked as the city’s development center for the coming year, with a focus on enhancing its commercial and travel values.

The area is home to Tianjin’s renowned Dahongtong Commercial Center, ancient Gulou travel center and modern New World Shopping Center. The Haihe River flows through the center of the area.

Late last year Singapore-based Pan Pacific Hotel and Serviced Suites started business in the area with construction of a 319-unit property. The hotel said it offers client packages to better serve traders and customers visiting Tianjin.
