ABOUT THE LOCATION
The “Practices in industrial cluster” session - Tianjin University of Technology and Education
Address:No. 1310, Dagu South Road, Hexi District, Tianjin, China
Tianjin is a municipality directly under the Central Government of the People’s Republic of China. It is a national central city, one of the first coastal cities opened to the outside world, an advanced hub for manufacturing and R&D, a core center for international shipping in northern China, a demonstration zone for financial innovation, and a pioneer area for reform and opening-up. Its unique “Jin-style culture” has been shaped by its geography (situated by rivers and the sea, close to Beijing) and its rich historical traditions. This culture blends the ancient and the modern, merges northern and southern influences, integrates elements from East and West, and harmonizes elegance with everyday life. Among these, folk culture stands out for its distinctiveness.
The essence of Jin-style folk culture lies in its dynamic coexistence of the refined and the popular. Through continuous interaction with diverse cultural influences, it preserves its traditional core while demonstrating remarkable resilience and vitality.
For those who love history and culture, Tianjin’s historic architecture and scenic landmarks offer endless fascination. Highlights include Tianjin Ancient Culture Street, Ancient Culture Park, Ice-and-Snow Wonderland, Jinmen Hometown, and the Porcelain House—all renowned for their distinctive cultural features. Ancient Culture Street is famous for its well-preserved Ming- and Qing-style buildings and cultural relics, while the Porcelain House showcases a unique collection of ceramic artworks that is truly worth exploring.
The “Innovation in education” session - Liaoning Petrochemical College
Address:No. 2, Section 2, Liujiang Street, Taihe District, Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province, China
Jinzhou boasts 5,000 years of civilization and 2,100 years of urban history. Cultural treasures such as the Wanfo Hall Grottoes of the Northern Wei, the Beizhen Temple from the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the Fengguo Monastery and Jinzhou Ancient Pagoda from the Liao Dynasty stand as enduring symbols of its rich heritage.
The city is also blessed with natural attractions, including China’s northernmost coastline, Mount Yiwulü, and the Daling and Xiaoling Rivers, offering abundant scenic beauty. Jinzhou’s famed “everything-can-be-grilled” barbecue culture adds a vibrant touch of everyday life.
These elements together shape Jinzhou’s identity as a “city of revolutionary heritage,” a “city of history and culture,” a “city of coastal leisure,” and a “city of culinary delights.” Guided by the “116213+N” development framework, the city is actively building its reputation as a cultural hub and a premier tourism destination.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on the fourth, Jinzhou harmoniously blends mountain and ocean landscapes, earning it the name “Land of Mountain-and-Sea Blessings.” Historically famous for its silk weaving, once producing exquisite brocades exclusively for the imperial court, the city became known as the “Splendid Prefecture.”
With abundant mineral resources, wind and solar energy, and agricultural products, Jinzhou enjoys a favorable business environment and a healthy ecological setting.
