You will encounter numerous taxi drivers as you exit the port, charging 200 to 300 USD to Beijing, and 100 USD to Tianjin downtown. Some unlicenced drivers even camouflage themsevles as legit ones, but with them you risk no insurance cover if you have an accident.
Trains from Tanggu Railway Station
It takes 20 minutes by taxi to Tanggu Railway Station (塘沽火车站), a quiet, small station in Tianjin. Pre-booking tickets to Beijing is important, because chances are there will be no tickets available to buy at the station.
Trains from Tianjin Railway Station
Tianjin Railway Station (天津火车站), 1 hour from the port, is big but low on signage. It can be rather a hassle to get in and out the station with luggage, not to mention the long lines. There is a special counter for Tianjin–Beijing intercity tickets, but often only trains departing 2 or 3 hours later are available.
