Yes my hometown! I’m a Chinese expat in Canada, but I always missed this place
Awesome! Well I hope you enjoyed my film about it. It's a very nice city.
Same but I'm in uk, I'm Jindy
mine too greeting from australia 😂
Pl can someone tell me how to connect with a Chinese phone no. , Actually my bro stays there and he is not picking up what's app calling , pllllll help me
also…mine…really miss there…
Thank you! As a Tianjin resident, I really enjoy your video, and I do appreciate it. The thing is, you know because of the "situation", it is hard now for residents like us to get clear of how a foreigner like you would make comments to China. If you do not mind, I want to share your video on a Chinese video website. Of course I will highly recommend your channel on TH-cam, and provide the link of the original site. Thank you so much!
Amazing video. Worth millions of view. Very professional.
Wow! that is such a kind comment. Fingers crossed for millions of views! :)
I’m going to the Tianjin foreign studies university in April to learn mandarin and this video was really helpful! I’m from Scotland so looking forward to learning about such a different culture!
Hey Sarah, we'll definitely meet there. I am going there too for studies.
Kossi Scott great! Will be amazing
That's awesome I hope you enjoy it and thanks for watching I'm pleased you found it helpful!
Check Eric Liddell, famous Scotsman who was born and raised in Tianjin. He'll make you proud to live and study in Tianjin. By the way, he's also in the movie "Chariots of Fire", that music from the movie was used throughout 2012 London Olympics.
@@sarahdavidson2432 Hi Sarah are you still in Tianjin?
OMG I literally see the apartment building I live I in this video!!!! Thanks for introducing ppl to Tianjin!!! Can’t wait to go home!
Thats awesome where in Tianjin do you live? I'm pleased you like the video!
Nico I live close to the Haihe River!
@@zhuoningli6804 Oh nice! It is so nice around the river!
i live in australia but my grandma and grandpa we visit them every year in tianjin they live near military hospital
This is my hometown! Thank you very much.
No problem! Thank you for watching :)
This is a wonderful introduction to the city that's overlooked by the outside world. So unlike any other Chinese cities. Well preserved older buildings mixed in with the new. Nice parks too. Photography is very good.
Thanks for watching. Yes, it definitely felt different too other cities I have been too.
Love the way you cut from one scene to the next. The perfect use of speeding up, slowing down, panning in and out with the camera, the various perspectives expertly juxtaposed, and the choice of hipster music, its fading in n out, and your professional narratives are all spot on!
I’ll be very surprised if you don’t get an offer to host a travel show soon
WOW!!! Thank you that is such a kind and amazing comment I really appreciate it. We really take our time and try to do all the things you mentioned so it's really great when it gets noticed! haha, I would love that offer, it would certainly be the dream!
Thankyou for this. I hope to make something useful too. so I tried my best.

I'm pleased you liked it! :)
NICO， you are the best. You totally bring me back to my own trip to Tianjing five years ago. You present the city in a balanced and cool way. Like your editing, tempo and music.
Aww thank you that's so kind. I am so happy I can bring you some nostalgia with my video :)
@@Nicofilms
Hope you enjoy your stay in my motherland.
I grew up in a small town of Jiangsu which locates near Shanghai. The capital city of Jiangsu is Nanjing. I watched your Nanjing video. Good Job. I traveled a lot when I was in my university time. Visited many coastal and inland cities in China.
I live overseas in the past four years.
I began to miss Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing. Then I searched youtube and found your nice videos. I know China is not a perfect place. But your videos just look exactly as in my memory. Unlike some famous media, just report on the social problems, political struggle or mobile payments of China.
Your videos remind me of my ordinary daily life back home. Very authentic and without the bias.
BTW, DO you know Harbin？ This city is quite interesting and unique in many ways.
th-cam.com/video/6su0q2sFmj0/w-d-xo.html
@@xiaoweic.8053 Thank you that really means a lot. I was living in Nanjing last year but I moved to Beijing in the summer. Before I came to China there was very little about the country and so I thought it would be a great tool to make videos so people can see the real side of China. The quirky parts of everyday life here are what I enjoy the most and I'm happy it has been my home for nearly 2 years. Where are you living now? ......I haven't been to Harbin yet, but I am looking to go for the Spring Festival, although it might be quite busy.
@@Nicofilms I lived in New Zealand and Australia for a few years. Now I moved to Sweden. I liked many cities I regarded as home, like Auckland, Melbourne and Stockholm. But still Beijing is my favorite! The parks, The fragrant mountain areas, national Museum, art Museum, national library, Peking university, national opera House…… lots of my best memories in Beijing.
@@xiaoweic.8053 I do love Beijing I am so happy we moved, there is always so many things to do and places to explore! Hopefully, you can enjoy my Beijing videos from Sweden! :)
Great tour of Tianjin! Your videos are of consistent quality, looking forward to more in 2019! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!! Thank you that's so kind, I hope to keep you engaged throughout the year and get some new content up!
Thankyou for this. I hope to make something useful too. so I tried my best.

It's a really nice video! Thanks for loving Tianjin. Your video brings the sweet memories of my hometown to a homeless student.
You make the best China travel vids on TH-cam. Love traveling around the country. How many cities have you been to? Looking forward to future vids!
Aw thank you that's so kind!! We have been to about 7 cities in China, but hoping to do a lot travel around the country this year!
Love Tianjin, you'll find most welcoming, friendly people in China. Nico, your video is one of the best of Tianjin in TH-cam, well done!
Your video are so clean and uncluttered . Rolling at a good speed. Love it.
Thank you that is so kind I'm pleased you enjoyed watching.
Nico, I'm so glad I found your channel. I love your perspective.
Hi, welcome to my channel I'm pleased you found me too! Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the rest!

Thank you Nico for sharing such an informative video on Tianjin. It got me all excited fo explore what Tianjin as to offer 😊
Tianjin is like my second home after Beijing "even I'm e foreigner". The person that I love lives in Tiajin.
If the income is similar, the cost of living in Tianjin is much lower, and it is convenient to go to Beijing.
Quality production . Tianjin ❤
Thank you!
Wow i was looking for a nuce city to spend a year learning chinese and it seems like what you described is exactly what I'm looking for.
Thank you nico for this amazing introduction 💜
Glad it was helpful! Hope you enjoy it!
I can assure you that you'll fall in love in Tianjin than other mega cities like Beijing or Shanghai. The cost of living is much lower, but you enjoy first-class lives in China, plus the people are the most friendly and hospitable. Go check it out first, then do the comparison, then you know what I'm talking about here.
very impressive cinematography, good job!!!!
Thank you, thats so kind!
I love how informational your videos are and the shots and music all are amazingly put together !
Thank you that's so kind!
Informational but doesn't mention the explosions... I have nothing against Nico but it's quite a big part of its history.
Miss my hometown so much, especially the food, thank you for your video, Nico...
Thank you, yeah the food was great I'm pleased you liked it. Where are you now?
@@Nicofilms Hey, Nico. I am currently in Massachusetts, US. How is your experience so far in China?
@@Nicofilms You missed Nanshi Food Market, perhaps you'll make it up next time 😆
thanks for the high quality video !
Thank you I'm so pleased you liked it!
Thank you Nico for the wonderful video! Tianjin isn't the wealthiest, or the most pish city, but it is cozy and full of life. Bravo to your vids!
This is great, I'll be sharing it with our teacher candidates. Great work!
Beautiful video! I really enjoyed this one 👍🏻
Thank you! It was a really peaceful and pleasant city.
身为一个天津人看到外国友人介绍自己家乡怎么全面真是感觉惭愧！往往越是在身边的美好事物却没有认真的去发现！哎～

After seeing this, definitely subscribing :D
Thanks for sharing this!
Great! Thanks for watching and welcome to my channel!
Thank you for another wonderful video.
Thank you for watching!
Tianjin looks absolutely beautiful! I’m currently learning mandarin and I’ve been enjoying learning it. I would love to visit or even live in Tianjin one day, this video is excellent btw! ❤️
Thank you very much. It's a really lovely city!
This is what I replied to a potential mandarin learning student: "I can assure you that you'll fall in love in Tianjin than other mega cities like Beijing or Shanghai. The cost of living is much lower, but you enjoy first-class lives in China, plus the people are the most friendly and hospitable. Go check it out first, then do the comparison, then you know what I'm talking about here."
Thank you so much! I'm a resident in Tianjin. I love your videos, and I do appreciate you of sharing the videos to people outside of China. You know, because of the "situation" in China, we do not get so many chances to see the comments made my foreigners like you. If you don't mind, I would like ask for your permission to share the video to my bilibili account. Of course I will share your account on bilibili, and this website. Hope that will make more users on Bilibili and TH-cam get to know you! Thank you very much!
Really interesting and useful, thanks.
love you video i am from Tianjin！welcome！ love you accent btw
Thank you I'm pleased you like it!
Some parts of china seems so serene,like the picturesque villages,forest and lakes..couple that with a pretty lady narrating a romantic journey...plus a delicious meal and a couple of BEERS!!! Very beautiful combinations..!!😂🐰🐭🐱😂
Many of China's cities are like this, the perfect mix!
This is impossibly good...like living in a very desirable place...
Thankyou for this. I hope to make something useful too. so I tried my best.

Thank you Nico for making this incredible video. Because of the Covid-19, I can’t go back to my hometown this year. I am so appreciate that I could watch your video at this time . You give me such a great emotional support for my homesickness. I am gonna subscribe your channel and also looking forward to watching more your videos 😊
Welcome to my channel I'm pleased you enjoyed it! I'm sorry to hear that but I'm pleased this helps!
I have been studying there for 4 years in university. It’s really a nice place to stay
What have you been studying? I really get that impression from everyone that lives there that they just love it.
Nico English Literature. Tianjin is a very easy place for people to live compare to its neighbor city of Beijing and life there is very slow and most of all, it’s not crowded at all even in a working day subway
@@sailger1407 Yeah I totally agree I felt this when we were there.
I'm sure Tianjin people are the most friendly and hospitable you ever find in China.
Wow, you can be a director of documentary films
And I wish you can make a "Modern China" series
Such as Culture, Society, Natural Landscape, etc.
For example, your current work can be made a sub-series called "Modern China: Major Cities"
Isn't that cool? as a Chinese myself, I always love to view my own country through westerners' eyes.
You guys do some high quality jobs.
Wish you always enjoy your life in China.
Wow thank you for the kind comment, we would absolutely love to get into documentary making eventually. This is a really good idea and definitely something to aim for in the future, thanks for the feedback! Its always great to hear what people want and especially to get good feedback when you are from China.
Great video! There aren't too many I've been able to find about Tianjin..
Thank you! I thought the same when I looked so thought I'd make one, I'm pleased you like it.
You brought me nostalgia with this video❤️ I had been to China back in 2019, the city I loved the most was Tianjin❤️ Thank you Nico💞
That's awesome I'm pleased you liked it!
Nico 💞
Well done ,Nico 👍 I am homesick now :(
Aww I'm so sorry! I'm pleased you liked my video and I'm sorry to make you homesick.

Hi
Nicely done, Nico!
Thanks for watching!
Love it!
Thank you!
I'm looking for a nice city in China to ask for a scholarship as a foreign student who studies 中文 and this video helped me a lot, I think I'm actually going to choose 天津😁
I love the way which you edit videos!
Thank you that is so kind!
What a marvellous video, thumbs up!
Thank you!
so cool thanks for such an elaborate video

So nice city. I love it. Thank you.
It was a lovely city!
great video! been watching this series
Thank you! I'm so happy you have been watching the series, hopefully I will have a lot more this year!
@@Nicofilms For sure! There's a lot of cities in China each with their own unique personality. I'm from the dongbei (northeast) area, like Changchun and Shenyang!
@@chuckywang Yes!! That's why I love this country so much diversity every place has a story to tell. Yes, I know the area but I haven't been that far north yet, maybe some point this year!
So many beautiful cities in China.
love tianjin , beauty city . miss
What a great video! I’m going there next weekend 😃
Oh I'm pleased you liked it. I hope you have fun when you visit. How long will you go for?
Nico I only went for the weekend then back to work in Beijing 😃
@@ohfaciq did you enjoy it?
i love British small town,full of peace
The video is suuuuuper awesome
Thanks for watching!
Nico, thank you for the wonderful video!! Please add Hefei to your list.
Thank you I am pleased you liked it. Thanks for the suggestion I haven't been to Hefei, have you?
BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!
I love Tianjin. It's a wonderful city
Yes it is a really pleasant place!
air polution in winter ,but its getting better and better every year!
Yeah I think so too. In Beijing last year we had beautiful blue skies in winter!
Nankai is good at art and social major, tianjin uni is good at science. Tianjin also has a good place for night life. There are bar called labamba and sitong. Almost all of tianjin foreigner will meet each other there on weekend
Thanks for the information I'm sure people will find these tips helpful!
A fantastic guide for travel!!!
GREAT CITY TIANJIN MY HOMETOWN!
i could have a chance to work in this city thats why im checking it out. Looks good. Waiting to be invited for second interview in person over there. Excited. Yeah, one thing I prefer is not as big as Shanghai, Guangzhou or Beijing (although it has 15 millions population is consider very big for most of the foreign cities) and the air quality should be cleaner. Went ChongQing last October for interview as well, gosh 30 millions mega city with extremely haze only 100 meter visibility. Seriously, suddenly i feel so tiny.
Btw, I like Tianjin's architecture with the new & old / Eastern & Western. Certain angles in the video looked like European city. Looking forward : )
How exciting, fingers crossed for you! Yeah, it's an interesting city its still huge but it really doesn't feel it, I felt it was a lot homier than other cities. Its also only 30 mins on the train to Beijing which is amazing! The flights to places are much cheaper from Tianjin, we often go there to fly abroad. I've not been to Chongqing yet so I can't comment but the air here in Beijing has been really good since I moved only the occasional hazy day.
@@Nicofilms Too bad that finger cross came late. Didn't get the second interview in Tianjin. so...lol...Thanks!
@@Mansiang978 Oh no thats a shame! Hopefully you will find something else soon!
Nico, where was that field with purple flowers?? and which month was this filmed in?
It was in TEDA and we went in October.
Tianjin is my hometown. It has the lowest suicide rate in China. What are the reasons: People there are friendly, humorous, and outgoing; the city has advanced educational and medical system, but it is less stressful than in Shanghai and Beijing.
I miss Tianjin so much.
Nice video .... very impressive
Thank you
Missing this amazing place so badly
Glad you liked it! Hope it brought back good memories!
I visited the old embassy district in Tianjin, It's pretty fancy.
Yeah a lot of Tianjin is quite fancy I thought it was very unusual that it has such a strong European influence.
@@Nicofilms actually the former French concessionaire is quite nice, too, now it's commercial district.
GRACIAS
Tianjin ,the name of the city means "The port of the Milky Way" from a fan of you in China
Thank you I didn't know that! Where are you in China?
If you go to Tianjin be sure to check the weather first. The temperature can change like a woman's mood lol. Suddenly dropping 8 degrees within a single day. It might be okay for tourists, but if you live here you do quickly run out of things to do.
haha yeah the temperature can get pretty cold in Beijing as well!
I love Tianjin
It's a lovely city!
Great job... But I would like to have seen segments on the public transportation system - and the job market
Hi, thanks for leaving feedback it's great to have more ideas of what to include. To let you know the public transport is great in Tianjin there are metro lines around the city but it is quite a small system compared to some cities. Unfortunately, I don't know that much about the job market apart from teaching English which there are many opportunities.
awesome!
Thank you! hopefully you found it helpful!
Nico definitely! I’m planning to apply for Nankai University soon 😉
@@tomywaskitho4810 Thats awesome! Good luck with your application I hope you get in and enjoy Tianjin!

I'm sorry I don't know anyone studying there.
@@Nicofilms Tianjin University is the first and oldest standard 4 years university in China founded by Americans in 1895. Upon graduation during that time, the students could transfer directly to Yale for Graduate School without additional admission test. The academic standard was (still is) very high!

Thank you. It's a very pleasant place. It's the third-largest city aparently.

@@user-kx5es4kr4x yeah i mean Tianjin is equally important to china and beautiful
Yes I agree I feel like there was no information about it before we went.
It's been under the shadow of Beijing for decades. With high speed rail, it'll soon become most favorite day-trip from Beijing. Thanks Nico 👍 🙏
All cities in China and very clean
