Tianjin is a port city, not far from Beijing, that is well known for its historical heritage and natural beauty. What makes it super cool though, is that visitors arriving from the US, Europe and Australia to Binhai International Airport are granted a 72-hour layover visa, to explore the city. So why not spend a night or two in Tianjin and enjoy the interesting architecture, the history, a walk by the river promenade, the European flare and the aura of a bustling port, without the hustle and bustle of China’s larger cities? Stay in a hostel or vacation rental, meet fellow travelers and allow yourself to fall in love with this waterside city.
