Why is the architectural style in Tianjin so complicated?

The architectural style of Tianjin is very complicated, because modern western culture, traditional China culture and various regional cultures exchange, collide, evolve and develop here. Tianjin not only combines the essence of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign cultures, but also retains the regional cultural characteristics since the founding of Tianjin, becoming a phenomenon with the independent quality of modern China culture.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, as one of China's foreign trade ports, Britain, France, Japan and Italy set up concessions in Tianjin. Therefore, Tianjin has gradually developed into the economic center, financial center and trade center in northern China. Its influence even exceeds that of northern China, and it has a place in China and even the Far East, becoming an international metropolis.

The buildings on Jiefang Road are the essence of Tianjin. The unique western architecture on both sides of the street brings people a strong exotic flavor-European architecture such as Romanesque, Romanesque, Germanic, Russian Classical, Greek, Renaissance, Gothic, Romanticism, eclecticism and so on. They come in droves, making people dizzying, forming a group of magnificent buildings, luxurious and dignified, with a European style, which is in just the right contrast with the elegance of Haihe River.
