A district and new area in Tianjin, China.

Examples

“Like Shanghai, Tianjin is the only other municipality to have been afforded preferential treatment and favourable funding policies, indicative of Beijing’s support to see the municipality develop its financial services sector. The Binhai District of Tianjin, for example, was the first to be granted dispensation by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange to engage in direct investment in overseas securities.”

“And the discussion on China’s social media sphere isn’t done yet. On the evening of August 13, the top-trending hashtag on Sina Weibo was “#塘沽爆炸真相#” – “Tanggu [the explosion’s location in the Binhai district] explosion truth.””

“TIANJIN, a northern mega-city, has produced some of China's wittiest comedians.[...]The problem is that the city’s planners sot far ahead of themselves. They built a big new financial district, which they billed as China’s Manhattan, in the Binhai district, on the city’s far-east side.”

“Anyone new to the green-clad Binhai New Area in Tianjin would find it hard to believe that it was not always an ideal place to live. Located in North China’s major coastal city, Binhai has a land area of 2,270 square kilometers, but over half of it used to be covered in high-saline soil, which is unsuitable for growing plants.”
