But piomeering has not ob-literated tradition-Tianuin is a city of legend and age-old customs and cuisine-neveer more so than at Chi-nese New Year. These elements unite to make the commercial metropolis and major port ot Tianjin,with600years of unique history and innovation,Tianjin is respomding with con-fidence to the challenges of the 21 st century.
