Tips: For most Tianjin - Nanjing trains, they run along the Beijing - Shanghai High Speed Railway. Tianjin or Nanjing is just a major stop on the way, not the original departure station or terminal station. If the tickets for this trip have been sold out, but the tickets to the next stop after your destination are available, you can buy tickets to the next stop but still get off at your planned station. In this case, you can make the trip, though you cost a little more than you are supposed to.

As many high speed trains go through the two cities, they become good connection to go to other cities. From Tianjin, you can go to Shenyang, Dalian, Changchun, as well as Harbin. From Nanjing, you can go to Shanghai, Hangzhou and Suzhou.
