Former employee's apartment of Companie de Tramways et d'Eclairage de Tientsin.

Former China-Belgium Bank and Belgian Consulate built in 1921.

The former Belgian Concession was established in 1902. Located on the eastern bank of Hai He River, the Belgian government and business community did not invest in concession development, therefore there were not many buildings constructed in this area, and those that were built are no longer extant.

In 1904, China and Belgium signed a contract with Companie de Tramways et d'Eclairage de Tientsin, which stated that "this company has the exclusive right to produce and maintain the electric light and trolley systems for a term of 50 years."

In 1906, with the founding of the trolley system, Tianjin became the first city in China with a modern public transportation system. The electric light and trolley businesses were profitable ventures.

In 1937, Companie de Tramways et d'Eclairage de Tientsin was taken over by the Japanese army. Following the end of World War II, the Brussels-based company turned over the entire system to China.
