Mini Tour of the BEAUTIFUL Historic Astor Hotel in Tianjin, China, with elevator ride!
Filmed on May 26, 2018: Here we take a mini tour of this GORGEOUS old Historic Astor Hotel! This is by far one of the most beautiful hotels that I have ever been in. The original wing was built in 1863, and the new wing was built in 1984. During the time I filmed this, there were crowds of people (mostly in the courtyard) because they were preparing for a wedding, but still I got a good enough mini tour video this beauty. The elevators are ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AS WELL! The fixtures have been modernized, but tastefully done so I am not upset about that. But BIGGEST attraction of the elevators are the beautiful old-fashioned cabs! Although modded, still this is what I call a REAL elevator. I think all the sets of elevators in this whole facility were installed in 1984 (prior to when the new wing was built). Also, we conclude the tour by seeing the old historic manually controlled elevator that was installed in 1923 (the oldest elevator in the city made by Otis). Sadly, it was locked; still, I got an amazing look at it. With that said, enjoy the video! :D
All working elevators: Installed in 1984.
Old gated manually-controlled elevator: Installed in 1923.

Tianjin
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Tianjin ([tʰjɛ́n.tɕín] (listen)), formerly romanized as Tientsin, is a coastal metropolis in northern China and one of the nine national central cities of the People's Republic of China (PRC), with a total population of 15,469,500, and is also the world's 11th-most populous city proper. It is governed as one of the four municipalities under the direct administration of central government of the PRC and is thus under direct administration of the central government. Tianjin borders Hebei Province and Beijing Municipality, bounded to the east by the Bohai Gulf portion of the Yellow Sea. Part of the Bohai Economic Rim, it is the largest coastal city in northern China.
In terms of urban population, Tianjin is the fourth largest in China, after Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou. In terms of administrative area population, Tianjin ranks fifth in Mainland China. The walled city of Tianjin was built in 1404. As a treaty port since 1860, Tianjin has been a major seaport and gateway to Beijing. During the Boxer Rebellion the city was the seat of the Tianjin Provisional Government. Under the Qing dynasty and the Republic of China, Tianjin became one of the largest cities in the region. At that time, numerous European-style buildings and mansions were constructed in concessions, many of which are well-preserved today. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Tianjin suffered a depression due to the policy of the central government and Tangshan earthquake, but recovered from 1990s. Nowadays Tianjin is a dual-core city, with its main urban area (including the old city) located along the Hai River, which connects to the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers via the Grand Canal; and Binhai, a New Area urban core located east of the old city, on the coast of the Bohai Gulf. As of the end of 2010, around 285 Fortune 500 companies have set up base in Binhai.

Amazing Otis Elevonic 401 High-Speed Elevators at Tianjin Radio & TV Tower!
Filmed on May 26, 2018: This was AWESOME!!!! :D I found an older Otis Series 1 in Asia, but not just that... it's an Otis Elevonic 401! I can't believe I unexpectedly found this all by myself (in other words, I was the VERY FIRST person to film these)! These elevators look very American style. Also, a HUGE THANKS to the elevator attendant for letting me press the buttons on these!!!! :D I almost wasn't able to, but if you watch the whole video, I got to control the doors! I wasn't able to press the floor buttons as the operator had already pressed it. Also, my cousin is along for the ride as you'll hear him explaining to her in Chinese. I have translated most of the speeches into English, but part of I don't understand. But anyways, enjoy a ride on these wonderful Otis Series 1 elevators!!!! :D Installed in 1991.
