Tianjin is one of the four municipalities in China. Its name means 'the place where the emperor crossed the river'. In recent years Tianjin has received more and more attention from both tourists at home and abroad due to its numerous travel resources and rich history.
It is no exaggeration to say that Tianjin bears a splendid historical background. However, it was desecrated by foreign invaders long before the foundation of People's Republic of China. Tianjin was shared by nine countries: Italy, Germany, France, Russia, Great Britain, Austria, Japan and Belgium. This marked an extremely hard period for Tianjin and her people because those imperialist countries left permanent marks in her body, most notable of which were thousands of villas. Today those villas provide an exotic flavor to Tianjin, enhancing the beauty of the entire city.

Ms.Jenni replied:
Try this way: at the Beijing South Railway Station, please take the subway Line 4 to arrive at Xidan station firstly. The fare is CNY2/person.
Out from the Exit A, please walk along the Xidan Bei Dajie to the bus station at Xi Dan Shang Chang(西单商场). Just needs 5 minutes. Here, please take the bus 109 and then get off at Sha Tan Lu Kou Xi(沙滩路口西), where you will find the logo of the hotel immediately. The bus fare is just CNY1/person, taking you about 10~15 minutes.

Ms.Jenni replied:
At Tianjin Airport, you could take the shuttle bus or a cab to arrive at Tianjin Railway Station firstly in 30 minutes. Then, catch a bullet train to arrive in Beijing in 30 minutes. If everything goes smoothly (take bus and purchase train ticket), the whole journey is no more than 1.5 hours.

Take Bus 102 when you get out of Xinggang Port and get off at Xinggang No.3 Road, No4 Dock (1.5RMB). Then shift to the bus heading for Yangliuqing, which passes Tianjin Railway Station and Baihuo Dalou. That is the city center. ticket fare is 5RMB. It take over one hour.
