Topic: Jin and Jing - The historical ties between two great cities of the Huabei plain
Tianjin and Beijing are historically and geographically interlinked. Their city walls were built only years apart. Today is it easy to forget that the two cities were born from the same development. While they are only a half hour train ride away they mentally feel miles apart. However, if we go just a little bit back in history, this was different. In the late Qing and republican periods, Tianjin was the modern city far outpacing the old conservative capital of Beijing.
Jin and Jing is a talk about the historical relation between the two cities. From the last emperor to the grand canal we look at historical connections between the two great cities of the Huabei plain.
