Tianjin's Italian area planning grand re-opening

Tianjin's Italian Style Area, with a history of 119 years and more than 100 Italian-style villas, will re-open to the public on May 1 after a major renovation.

More decorations and sculptures in the Italian style will be presented, surrounding a 1.55-square-kilometer area in the city's Hebei district.

There will be a naked-eye 3D light show on the outer wall of the Tianjin Planning Exhibition Hall, covering an area of about 800 square meters, as well as in the central area of Marco Polo Square, which has a concentration of restaurants, shops and well-preserved architecture.
