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

Tianjin is 120 kilometers away from Beijing. 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.

The normal-speed train has limited space, and you may not have enough room for your luggage. On the other hand, taking a car can be prone to traffic jams, especially during public holidays.

Best Way to Travel from Beijing to Tianjin

The best way to get from Beijing to Tianjin is by high-speed train. Because taking the high-speed train can save a lot of time, and the carriages are cleaner and quieter, there are also places to put large luggage.

Beijing to Tianjin by Car

A trip from Beijing to Tianjin by taxi takes 2 hours and 30 minutes and costs CNY260. You can freely choose the pick-up and drop-off locations, ensuring a quick arrival at your destination. However, the taxi driver may not speak English. I recommend a private transfer service with a driver and a guide accompanying you, ensuring smooth communication.

The driver can pick you up from any train station or airport in Beijing and take you to any location in Tianjin without any stops during the journey. The transfer vehicle is clean and spacious, with enough seats for everyone and space for your luggage.
