Tianjin Shi Travel Forum

Hi

My wife and I would be going to Tianjin within the next one or two weeks. I would be with the Nankai Law School for a short stint. We would like to meet up with local Tianjin residents to get an insight into the city. Please email at skp288@gmail.com

Many thanks.

Dear all,

We will arrive at the cruise port in Xingang in October 2009 and would like to go to the Tianjin Railway Station to take the bullet train to Beijing. I need information on how to get to the bullet train from Xingang cruise port. Can someone tell me the approximate cost of a taxi from Xingang port to the railway station? Or is there a light rail train between Xingang and Tianjin? Or would it be better to take the bullet train to Beijing from Tanggu instead of Tianjin? If so, what would a taxi cost to the Tanggu station?

We have been to China one before and love the country but it is sometimes hard to find information details from so far away.

Thank you for your help,
Linda

i have a day to spent in Tianjin before catching flight back to malaysia.

will reach tianjin around noon time by taking a bullet train from beijing.

Any suggestion which hotel to stay, preferably near shopping and old culture
street and not too far from the airport.

I will be spending 2 weeks in Tianjin mid - April and am a keen Rugby supporter. Is anyone aware of any pubs/bars that would show the Super 14s rugby? Thanks in advance

We've visited Tianjin before and loved our private day tour... the former concession area, the food mall, the culture street. We'll be arriving in Xingang again and we are wondering if it's possible to hire a taxi, with even a slightly English speaking driver, that would take us to Tianjin and show us around. There are a few sites we didn't see last visit and wondered if these are worth a visit... the Shi Family Mansion and/or a cruise on the Haihe River.
Many thanks for any suggestions... Sandy

Hi All,

have you been in Nankai, Tianjin? I am looking for info of Nankai as applying to a course which is held in University of Nankai. Now, I would like to know some info on the city, transportation, location (close to BJS?) or ANY info at all.

Done surfing but without any results... Would you happen to have some links or info on the city?

Many thanks in advance! ps. course begins in April 07, so I guess Im a bit in a hurry...

I will be accompanying my husband on a business trip to Tianjin in the next few months. (The dates have yet to be confimed). As he will be working all day, I'd like to do more than lounge around a hotel. Any suggestions on nearby sites, food and/or shopping?
Thank you!

Does anyone know of any organizations in Tianjin that focus on economic/community development, gender and development, or anything else along those lines? I'm looking for an organization that I can get involved with while I'm in Tianjin...I'll be here until July 2007 so I figured I might as well get involved and offer to be of whatever help I can.

I've heard of the Tianjin Women's Federation? Know anything about it?

Thanks, Lyndsey

Hello,

Iam living in Tianjin and i have long weekends, i can leave Friday night and come back on Monday night (to be back at tuesday morning) so i would like to start to see this country!!!
But everything is in chinese (i know, it is normal, but it is hard as well...) so i cant find out what are the places i can travel during the night arriving there in the morning, then stay two nights and come back on Monday night. Where to go? whre to find the train timetables?

And i have another question, someone told me that it isnt possible to buy a return ticket in China... that you have to buy one way and then get the other one, but then i may not be able to come back on Monday night and i have to work on tuesday afternoon!!!! Is there any way to buy a return train ticket? not in the station but i know you can go to some tourist agencies and they get you the ticket... can you ask them for a return ticket or do you have to pray to get the return ticket when you arrive to your destination?

thanks *:)

Any help appreciated, I can't get round the website (www.jinchon.co.kr) because it's only in Korean.

I am urgently trying to get contact details for a Company I believe are based in Tianjin. If anybody knows of this company please can you post some contact details.

Either telephone, or fax numbers, e-mail or address.......any information would be helpful. I believe they are operated by a woman and are a privately run firm. They trade in agricultural items such as millet sprays etc. The name I have is "TIANJIN GREAT AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS LIMITED" Any help would be appreciated.
