Life in Tianjin

 

Located in Northern China, Tianjin is a large industrial city just 30 minutes by fast train southeast of Beijing. While it is an industrial hub, Tianjin offers much more, including lower pollution levels compared to Beijing, despite occasional challenges. The city is renowned for its rich history of European concessions, featuring a remarkable collection of late 19th-century European architecture, making it a unique destination in China.
