In Tianjin,there are many buildings of bygone times.Some of them are imposing and h**e great artistic and historic value.However,these buildings do mot fit in well with each other,because most of them were built by foreigners in different times.The traffic in the city is not very convenient.The street are usually narrow and twisted.If the government wanted to h**e them widened,a large number of buildings would h**e to be pulled down.Some buildings are too old and are nothing more than cottages,and in place of them,some new high buildings h**e been set up.However,the new ones are still few and in many places they seem quite out of place.
Yet those Western-style buildings give Tianjin a different characteristic from other cities and those new ones lend the city fresh vitality which will spread rapidly with the reform going on.
