Tianjin is a municipality and port city in northeastern China, located on the Hai River near the Bohai Sea, about 120 km southeast of Beijing. The city has several main railway stations: Tianjin (Tianjin Railway Station) for conventional services, Tianjin West, Tianjin South (Tianjinnan) for high-speed services, and Tianjin North. The Beijing–Tianjin intercity railway links Tianjin with Beijing with journey times around 30 minutes; bullet train and other high-speed services connect Tianjin with cities such as Shanghai, Jinan and Qingdao. Visitors often go to the Five Great Avenues (Wudadao), an area with over 200 Western-style buildings dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and to Ancient Culture Street (Gu Wenhua Jie) for traditional architecture, handicrafts and local snacks. Other points of interest include the Tianjin Eye ferris wheel on Yongle Bridge (120-meter wheel opened in 2008), the Porcelain House museum, the Tianjin Museum and the Binhai Library in the Binhai New Area. Tianjin Port is one of China’s largest ports by cargo throughput. Local specialties include Goubuli steamed buns (Goubuli baozi, founded 1858), jianbing (savory crepes) and mahua (twisted fried dough). Many attractions and regional connections are accessible from the main train station hubs; travelers can buy train tickets online in advance and reserve seats for high-speed services.
