Taxi Stands

We are arriving in Tianjin on the Diamond Princess on the 9th October. Can we hire a taxi or car or bus to take us to Tianjin Railway station to catch the bullet train to Beinjing.
Yes, basically there are some taxis waiting in line outside the cruise home building. Just take a taxi to the Tanggu Railway Station or Tianjin Railway Station and buy the bullet train tickets for a latest train for Beijing. There are plentiful trains from Tianjin to Beijing, but limited number of trains from Tanggu to Beijing.
Tianjin Cruise Home Port – Tianjin Railway Station Taxi fare: about RMB 160
Tianjin Cruise Home Port – Tanggu Railway Station taxi fare: about RMB 40
We are arriving on the Diamond Princess on 1st May at Tianjin International Cruise Home Port Terminal. With it being a public holiday we want to take a taxi to Tianjin Railway station because the Bullet Trains are much more regular and available without booking.
Will the price still be about RMB 160? What is the translation for “Please take me to Tianjin Railway station”
Thank you
RMB 160 is only for your reference. “Please take me to Tianjin Railway station” Chinese version:
请把我送到天津火车站“。
Have a nice trip!
Are there taxi’s available at the cruise port in Tianjin or must one book a private transfer ? Thank you
None of the numbers listed works when called from the China mobile network: is a prefix necessary?
Yes, you first dial the local code 022, then dail the taxi company’s phone number.
The services from the local Taxis are very bad.
I recently visited Tianjin and wanted a Taxi from the train station to my Hotel. None of the Taxis in front of the station wanted to take me there as my Hotel was to close by.
This was also for my general travelling in Tianjin. I was very dissapointed and will NOT take one of these Taxis again.
I will take the private ones.
We arrive at on the Diamond Princess on 7th May at Tianjin International Cruise Home Port Terminal early in the morning and need to go to Tianjin Binhai International Airport right away. What are our transportation options and the related cost and travel time for each option?
Many thanks.
Hello Stephen Wong,
As far as I know, there is no shuttle bus service between the Tianjin Cruise Home Part and Tianjin Binhai International Airport. You may take a taxi waiting outside the cruise terminal building, and go for the airport, 70km, one hour, approx. RMB 180.
Alternatively, you may first take a taxi to Tanggu (30km), where you can take a local bus to Tianjin Binhai Airport. Seldom passenegrs will do like this considering the inconvenience of carrying the luggage all the way.
We arrive in PEK at 9:30pm on May 1, 2013 and need to taxi to downtown Tianjin (Renaissance Marriott. )
How much approximately should we pay? What is expectation for tipping?
Is there anything we should avoid or be careful about?
Hello Diane,
You have two types of transportation to reach your hotel in Tianjin from Beijing capital airport.
1. By Taxi
Beijing Airport – Tianjin Renaissance Marriott：
Distance: 148km
Taxi fare: approxi. RMB500
Tipping: No (You don’t need to tip your taxi driver)
Note:
1) For such a long-distance, most taix drivers in Beijing don’t want to use meters ( they have to return to Beijing empty) and usually you have to bargain with them for the taxi fare. I have just consulted with a taxi driver and the approx. taxi fare is about RMB 500.
2) Some taxi drivers are reluctant to take the business either due to safety problem or their taxi company’s regulation.
2. By Airport Shuttle Bus
There are daily 20 shuttle buses running from Beijing airport to the downtown Tianjin (Tianhuan Station – 天环站）
The last shuttle bus from Beijing airport to Tianjin Tianhuan Bus Station leaves at 23:00.
Maybe you can catch the last bus if you are able to finish your customs and claim your luggage before the shuttle departure time.
You just follow the shuttle bus sign and walk to the shuttle departing point and buy your bus tickets from the ticketing office by the bus starting area.
Be ready for the cash RMB82 for your ticket to save your money exchange time.
Bus fare: RMB82 per person
Bus Driving time: 2 and half hours
Bus Station in Tianjin: Tianhuan Station (天环站）
From Tianjin Tianhuan Bus Station, you can take a local taxi to your hotel – Renaissance Marriott
Distance: 8km
taxi fare: around RMB30
Please show the Chinese address and name of your hotel to your taxi drivers and they cannot speak any English:
Hotel Name: 天津滨江万丽酒店
Add: 天津 和平区 建设路105号
Hello Diane,
Just follow up to my previous email.
The taxi fare RMB 500 includes the toll fees of the highway from Beijing to Tianjin.
Always go to the official taxi stand at the Beijing airport to take your taxi for Tianjin.
When you get to your destination, please pay your taxi fare and ask for the receipt. Usually a receipt has the name of the taxi company where your taxi driver works.
Hi admin,
I also going to travel to tianjin on 1st may frombeijing airport. Any idea, which taxi company should we take?
Hello Mohd shah,
Basically, you have no choices to choose which taxi company you use for your transfer from Beijing airport to Tianjin. Normally you should go to the official taxi stand at the airport and take your turn to have a taxi. It makes no big difference as which taxi company if you take a taxi from an official taxi stand.
Alternatively, there are about 10 daily airport shuttle buses going from Beijing airport directly to the downtown Tianjin (Tianhuan Station – 天环站）
The last shuttle bus from Beijing airport to Tianjin Tianhuan Bus Station leaves at 23:00.
At Beijing airport, you just follow the shuttle bus sign and walk to the shuttle departing point and buy your bus tickets from the ticketing office by the bus starting area.
Be ready for the cash RMB82 for your ticket to save your money exchange time.
Bus fare: RMB82 per person
Bus Driving time: 2 and half hours
Bus Station in Tianjin: Tianhuan Station (天环站）
From Tianjin Tianhuan Bus Station, you can take a local taxi to your destination in Tianjin.
Please show the Chinese address and name of your destination to your taxi drivers and they cannot speak any English.
