Nankai District.

Nankai is one of the six urban districts of Tianjin, lying in the south-west of the central city, about 9.2 kilometres from north to south and 5.6 wide, with a total area of 40.636 square kilometres. Its name comes from the low-lying ground south of the old walled town, historically called Nankaiwa, and the district was formally established only in 1956. It is the education, research and culture centre of the municipality, holding Nankai University and Tianjin University as well as the China Automotive Technology and Research Centre. Four national key cultural relic protection units stand inside it: the former Nankai School site, the Cantonese Guild Hall, the Tianhou Palace and the Li Chun ancestral hall.
