Night Tour on Tianjin Jiefang North Road: The "Oriental Wall Street" of a Century Ago（解放北路夜游）

Tianjin, which became a treaty port in 1860, was once the financial center of northern China. The heart of this financial hub was Jiefang North Road. Since the British HSBC established its branch here in 1882, banks from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, and other countries flocked to the area. From the late 19th to the early 20th century, renowned banks such as Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, Citibank, and Banque Franco-Chinoise pour le Commerce et l'Industrie opened one after another. At the same time, numerous foreign trading companies, like Britain's Butterfield & Swire and Jardine Matheson, also gathered here. This convergence gradually turned Jiefang North Road into a hub for foreign banks and enterprises, exerting a profound influence on the financial sector of Tianjin and even North China, earning it the nickname "Wall Street of the East." Today, let's take a look at its night view—no subtitles. For detailed introductions of specific buildings, please refer to the videos I've shared earlier.
