Beijing–Tianjin intercity railway
China’s first high-speed intercity line, and still the easiest day trip from Beijing.
The trip is short enough that people commute it. Trains leave throughout the day and the whole journey is quicker than crossing Beijing by taxi at rush hour — which makes Tianjin’s colonial-era streets and riverside a practical same-day excursion.
- Both ends are central: Beijing South and Tianjin station are each on the metro, so there is no cross-city transfer at either end.
- Buy the return leg when you arrive if you are coming back the same day — evening departures fill up on weekends.

FAQ
How long does the train from Beijing to Tianjin take?
The fastest service on this date takes 0h 16m. Slower trains on the same route take longer — the timetable above lists the actual duration for every departure, so sort by journey time if speed matters more than the hour you leave.
How much is a train ticket from Beijing to Tianjin?
Second-class fares start at about $7 per passenger including our service fee. Second class is the standard choice; first class and business class cost more and buy wider seats, not a faster train. The quote page always shows the underlying local fare and our fee as separate lines.
Which station in Beijing does the train leave from?
On this date, departures leave from Beijing Fengtai and Beijing South and Yizhuang and Beijing West and Daxingjichang and Beijing and Beijing Tongzhou and Beijing Daxing. Large Chinese cities have more than one station and they are not within walking distance of each other, so check the station printed on your ticket rather than the city name.
Do I need to print a ticket?
No. Chinese railway tickets are issued against your passport, not a piece of paper. Carry the same passport you booked with, and staff will scan it at the gate. Keep the booking confirmation on your phone in case a conductor asks which seat is yours.
How far in advance can I book?
Chinese tickets are released about two weeks before departure, and this page only shows dates inside that window. Popular dates and holiday periods sell out early, so book as soon as your travel date appears.
Which class should I book?
Second class is the default on high-speed trains and is comparable to a short-haul airline seat. First and business class add space and recline for a premium. On overnight trains the choice matters more: a hard sleeper is a real bed, a hard seat is not. Our guide to seats and sleepers explains what each one actually looks like.
