As morning sunlight spills over the city of Tianjin in north China, its streets come alive with renewed vigor and vitality.

Elena Davydova from Russia embarked on a culinary journey to taste the famous morning flavors of Tianjin. From the city's Northwest Corner, which gets its name due to its location in the northwest corner of the old city of Tianjin, to its Ancient Culture Street, delicacies with local characteristics carry locals' memories and tell stories of the city's hospitality and inclusiveness.

From Jianbing Guozi, or crispy dough sticks rolled in a thin pancake, to fried cake, every bite brings a fresh impression and delightful surprises. These iconic breakfast foods reflect how much Tianjin locals value starting the day with care, flavor, and warmth.
