Zhaishang - Beitang


(Identification Color: Light Purple       )
 

Tianjin Metro Line Z4, also branded as the Binhai coastal rapid line, is a north-south route running entirely inside Binhai New Area. Its northern section from Zhaishang to Beitang, stretching 23.7 km (14.75 mi) with 10 stations, opened on January 18, 2026. Trains run every 8 minutes during peak hours and every 10 minutes in other times, with a full trip taking about 27 minutes. A single ride end-to-end costs CNY 3.
 

The line provides convenient access to Han'gu old town, Central Fishing Port, Aircraft Carrier Park, Sino-Singapore Eco-City and Beitang ancient town. It is known as Tianjin's sea-view subway: the Beitang – Eco-City segment runs 3 km (1.9 mi) along the coastline, crosses the Yongding New River estuary, and offers window views of the Rainbow Bridge and the Kiev aircraft carrier. It is also called the city's most cost-effective sea-sightseeing train.
 

Z4 is currently not connected with any other Tianjin metro lines, but operated independently. The mid-section is scheduled to enter commissioning by the end of 2027, and planned to transfer with Lines 9, Z2 and B1.
