The Snake - Tianjin

China House in Tianjin
A Snake is similar to a Dragon, but is a lesser Dragon. Although Tianjin is a municipality (just like Beijing, Shanghai, and Chongqing), Tianjin has no Shanghai-style influence due to its lower level of economic power, and it makes its way cautiously with the spirit of a snake under the shadow of Beijing.
However, Tianjin still strives for economic growth with unwavering spirit and persistence. Great changes have taken place in Tianjin due to great support from the Chinese central government.
