I briefly visited Tianjin in May 2009, and found that it was relatively devoid of humanity. Wide boulevards, foreign concessions and a Ferris wheel built into a bridge, but none of the usual huddled masses yearning to be in each other's way.

Aberration? Or did everyone just avail themselves to the HSR to Beijing?
