Tianjin Railway Station & Century Clock
天津站·世纪钟
The Tianjin Railway Station plaza on the east bank of the Hai River, home to the giant Century Clock built in 2001. Across the river, it faces the Liberation Bridge and Jinwan Square.
Tianjin Railway Station is the city’s main transportation hub. Its plaza faces the Hai River and the Liberation Bridge. The “Century Clock” in the plaza was built to welcome the new millennium. Its dial is about 13 meters in diameter, and its bronze sculptures are arranged around the signs of the zodiac. It is one of Tianjin’s landmarks. Viewing is free, and it is right outside the station exit. At night, the Liberation Bridge, the Century Clock, and Jinwan Square are all lit up, making it a classic spot for photographing the Hai River after dark. The Liberation Bridge is an opening steel bridge, but it no longer opens or closes in normal times.
