Beijing Travel Forum

I have planning to fly to Tianjin and then transit to Beijing on 25 December and then back to Tianjin on 4-Jan.

As I have heard of sandstorm and terrible weather, what is the possibility of being stranded after reaching Tianjin? If I do get stranded, roughly how long is the wait?
What is the best transportation for the transit, and what is the cost and time?

Hi ellecll

The chances of that are almost zero. The sandstorms usually only hit in March, and they almost never affect traffic to the point of cancellations.

There are frequent trains and buses between the two cities. You can catch a bus to Beijing outside of the Tianjin train station, which is probably what I would do (they tend to depart every 20 minutes and you can avoid the hastle of having to buy a train ticket and deal with the station).

standstorm is only appears in early spring sometimes, don't worry about it. a new type train will use from Auguest 1st, it only cost less than half hour. ticket price is about 10$

Don't think you need to worry about weather affecting your travels.
There's a new fast train that takes only half an hour, I think? If not, the usual trains should take around an hour or so, and there're plenty of those.
