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.

The easiest method is taking a flight from Urumqi to Tianjin directly. There is a direct flight departing from Urumqi to Tianjin, taking about 4 hours. The full fare is CNY2150. If you purchase the air tickets online in advance, some discount could be enjoyed.

After arrive at Tianjin Railway Station, please follow the direction to the north exit. Not far from it, you will find a China Post where the shuttle bus is located. The ticket could be purchase on the bus.
If you are confused by the road, it is suggested that you take a taxi to the airport which is also cheap and quickly.
