On the west coast of the Pacific Ocean and the seashore of Bohai, a city of hope is springing up; at the banks of Haihe River, a new-champion city emerged. That is the city of Tianjin, China, which locates 120 kilometers away from Capital Beijing. If you take the first high-speed train of China which runs between Tianjin and Beijing at a speed of 350 kilometers an hour from Beijing, you can arrive in Tianjin in only 30 minutes.

With a history of 600 years and a 30-year experience of reform and opening, Tianjin is marching at the forefront of development in China, Asia, and even the world. She stands proudly at the scratching line of an era of rejuvenation, and sends out her sincere invitation to friends all over the world: Tianjin Binhai New Area is taking on a new look and welcoming you to Tianjin!
