Tourist Attractions in CHINA Can Be Insane!
Hello Steem Blockchain!
Was hanging out in the city of Tianjin and got some awesome footage of one of their Ancient Culture Streets.
This spot got me thinking about how crowded these places can be. China is a huge country with a massive population of over 1.3 billion people!
China has also seen rapid urbanization and the creation of the middle class. This has allowed millions of people to afford travelling around the country where previously, only the wealthy could do.
This Ancient Culture Street had so many people here because it was during a Chinese Holiday known as "Wu Yi" which translates to May 1st. Many people had a 3-4 day holiday and that is a perfect time for them to travel with their families.
This is something you need to be careful of. When one place is touted as interesting or famous, it will get ambushed by a crowd of Chinese people. This is how it works here. It doesn't take long for the news to travel. It happens in other countries as well. Chinese people will say that Thailand is really cool and next thing you know, Thailand is flooded with Chinese tourists.
The same happened here. This Ancient Culture Street is well known in Tianjin so it is one of the places that gets flooded on holidays by Chinese tourists from other cities/provinces. If you don't mind all the people, you can still enjoy your time here, but if you feel claustrophobic, then you need to be careful!
Another famous area of Tianjin is the Tianjin Eye. It is basically a replica of the London Eye; a ferries wheel you can go on to get an aerial view of the city. I went on it years ago but I decided to just visit this area for some photos and videos!
This is one of the landmarks of the city. And yes, this place was packed!
People from all over the country came here to wait in line to hop onto this ferris wheel and luckily I did not.
Chinese national holidays can be a nightmare to travel in. If you are thinking about travelling to China, check to see if Chinese people will also be on vacation during that time. It will save a lot of headache and places won't be so packed. Don't get me wrong, places will still be packed when they aren't on holiday, but the holidays will amplify this phenomenon.
Hope you benefited from this blog post and video!
Thanks for reading & watching!

I always feel it’s insane on those “Wu Yi” holidays, and there was “Shi Yi” holiday as well, I’m not sure if there’s still a 7-day holiday for that? You know “人山人海”right? People mountain people sea... :D
人山人海。。。 I know that very well =P
五一我都不出门，你们真心不要去“热门”景点，太费时，体验也会下降。最好是工作日的时候去一些“热门”景点，平时休假日的时候去小众点的景点~

China is a country that has always maintained its culture and tradition for many years. It's really interesting, thanks for sharing a part of that beautiful culture, nothing to do with the culture of my country are totally different!
i lived 5 years in china, my experiences are that most of this tourist road is new. i call it fake - sorry
You can see the difference, is it old - more like 80 years mud and sand were taken today only cement and concrete
Take a key and scratch in the joint if you do not recognize it
Yes, you are right. Many of these tourist ancient walking streets are modern. I believe this one is modern as well but I could be wrong. Thanks for your comment!
On these holidays, it 's not only crowded in tourist attractions,but also on the way to it.
