On Tuesday, we went to the Tanggu district. This ocean-side neighborhood used to be very rural only a few years ago. However, since the Olympics, a lot of time and money has been spent on making Tanggu a world class port. Buildings have shot up overnight, and with them have come lots of new businesses and jobs. We got a tour of the central business district from our bus.
Next, we hung out at the boardwalk area along the water. There, we watched the boats come in and checked out the wares of the local seaside street vendors.
Afterward, we walked inland to one of Tanggu's largest shopping areas to practice our barginning skills before grabbing a bit to eat at a dim sum restaurant and heading back to our hotel.
