Tianjin, a major coastal city in the Chinese mainland, is making headlines ahead of the largest-ever SCO Summit. From August 31 to September 1, leaders from more than 20 member countries and heads of 10 international organizations will gather here to explore new paths of cooperation.
Here's how Hexi District is stealing the show:
- Urban Canvas: Carefully curated flower beds blend with culturally rich murals, turning city streets into open-air galleries.
- Vibrant Invitations: Colorful banners flutter along main roads, extending Tianjin's warm welcome to global delegates.
- Digital Pulse: Local startups are showcasing smart-city tech, from energy-efficient lighting to real-time air quality monitors—all accessible via mobile apps.
- Green Focus: Sustainable landscaping and pedestrian-friendly plazas underscore Tianjin's push for eco-friendly urban design.
Why it matters: The SCO Summit is more than a diplomatic gathering. It's a live case study in urban transformation, sustainability, and digital innovation—an event that impacts trade corridors, tech partnerships, and cultural exchange across Eurasia.
