How to Travel from Beijing to Tianjin, Beijing to Tianjin Cruise Home Port

Tianjin is 120 kilometers away from Beijing. There are no flights between these two cities right now. The fastest way to get from Beijing to Tianjin is to take the high-speed train, which takes 35 minutes, while the sleeper train takes 104 minutes. Another option is by car, which takes 2 hours.
