About Tianjin
Tianjin is a major port city in North China, located just 30 minutes by high-speed train southeast of Beijing. Its strategic position at the confluence of the Hai River and the Grand Canal has long made it a vital commercial gateway, shaping its unique, outward-looking character. Unlike the imperial grandeur of the capital, Tianjin offers a distinct blend of Chinese tradition and colonial-era architecture, a legacy of its history as a treaty port.
