Tianjins

Tianjins is a term used for residents of Tianjin, a direct-administered municipality in northern China. Tianjin lies on the coast of the Bohai Sea and is one of China's four municipalities directly controlled by the central government.

As a major port and industrial hub, Tianjin forms part of the Jing-Jin-Ja urban agglomeration. The city has a long history as a treaty port, with foreign concessions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that left a legacy of varied architecture and cultural influences. In the present era, development focuses on the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area and the Binhai New Area, a large-scale modern economic zone.

The Port of Tianjin is among the world's busiest, serving as a gateway for trade in northern China. The municipality hosts a diversified economy, including heavy industries, petrochemicals, finance, and high-technology manufacturing, with ongoing investment in logistics and research institutions.

Demographically, Tianjin has a large urban population, with residents commonly referred to as Tianjins in English usage. The local language is Tianjin Mandarin, a variant of spoken Mandarin with distinctive pronunciation. Tianjin cuisine is noted for dishes such as Goubuli baozi and Guifaxiang mahua, reflecting the city's historic cosmopolitan influences.

Notable educational institutions include Nankai University and Tianjin University, both prominent in higher education and research. The city also features cultural and historical sites such as the Five Avenues area, Italian Style Street, and historic port facilities.
