China: Karte der Konzessionsgebiete in Tientsin (Map of the Foreign Concessions in Tianjin), US Army Map Services, Washington DC, 1945, corrected and colourised by Maximilian Dorrbecker

The Concessions in Tianjin were concession territories ceded by the Chinese Qing dynasty to a number of European countries, the USA and Japan within the city of Tianjin.

There were nine concessions in old Tianjin altogether. These concessions also contributed a lot to the rapid development of Tianjin from the early to mid-20th century. The first concessions in Tianjin were granted in 1860. The last concession was ceded back to China in 1947.
