Hi M Justich

Dabei temple is located in No. 40 Tianwei Road, Hebei district. If you start at Nankai university, you could take No.12 bus, and stop at the Jingangqiao(金刚桥站).

Or you could take a taxi, it is only 7.5 kilometers from Nankai university.

Hi Marian,

You can buy jeans in each of the shopping mall in Tianjin. The most famous commercial center in Tianjin must be the Tianjin Commercial Street, also known as the Tianjin Heping traditional commercial street. You can see more here: http://www.chinahighlights.com/tianjin/shopping.htm
