Flights from Binhai Intl. Airport, Tianjin

When you fly to Tianjin Binhai International Airport (TSN) you ll land in China's fourth largest city, which also happens to be one of the fastest growing cities in the whole country as it attracts a huge number of business travelers from around the world every single year.

Located on the north-eastern coast, Tianjin was traditionally a major port city and it maintains this title as it has done for hundreds of years.

Its diverse history is reflected in its mix of ancient Chinese, colonial and 21st century buildings.

Sights

Must-sees for visitors include the Temple Of Great Compassion, a Zen Buddhist monastery that's thought to date back to the mid-1600's, and today serves vegetarian meals to visitors.

Ancient Culture Street known locally as Guwenhua Jie, revolves around Tianhou Palace, nearly 600 years old, and is packed with stores selling traditional crafts including calligraphy.

Food

Tianjin is a byword in China for great cuisine. The seafood is especially good here, but you might want to try a local speciality called Ear-Hole Fried Cake, a crunchy, sweet bun.

There are, however, thousands of options for dining in the city; Weishuwu Hot Pot is a very popular restaurant in Heping district, to name just one excellent restaurant.
