Tianjin Cloudy Bay Youth Hostel

This hostel is not the cheapest on this list, but perhaps the most worth it. Cloudy Bay Youth Hostel is in the heart of it all, just a several minutes’ walk to almost every major site in Tianjin. This former colonial house turned hostel is the highest praised of its kind in Tianjin. Starting rates: $50+

28 Dalian Rd, Binhai Xinqu, Tianjin Shi, China, +86 22 2589 2589

This was on the rooftop of a hostel in Tianjin. The skyline of the city is shaped in a semi circle from this point so this is just a portion of the skyline. The name of the hostel is the Cloudy Bay Youth Hostel. If ever you go to Beijing, you can consider taking the train to Tianjin. It's only 30 minutes away (with the high speed train), and there are a few interesting thing to see because of the cultural heritage of the city (which was strongly influenced by european colonialism). However, a day or two is probably enough to look around. This picture was taken a little before sunset. When it became dark out, the buildings would all light up, and it's quite nice to see. However, the lights only stay on for an hour, I imagine that they are trying to save electricity to reduce the pollution (which gets bad at times). #smog I hope you all have a nice day/night 🌞 🌚 ———————————————————— #camerapic (I think) ———————————————————— #china #tianjin #travel #instagood #instago #photooftheday #picoftheday #instadaily #instatravel #voyage #trip #backpacking #unlimitedchina #unlimitedasia #city_features #travelphotography #beautifuldestinations #traveling #cityscape #cityskyline #2016 #asia #adventure #cloudybayyouthhostel
