There%26#39;re direct buses from Beijing airport to Tianjin at 0700, 0800, 0900 and every 30 mins thereafter till 2300. Buses depart from opposite door no.15 of arrivals concourse, fare is 70 RMB.
Thank you both for your suggestions. Looking forward to my trip end of June.
Not sure of your experience level for China, but my experience is this.
The trains from Beijing to Tianjin are great. They vary from so-so to really good. By this I mean they are not full with people in every isle, most I%26#39;ve taken have been two - storey, good views, clean, comfortable %26amp; fast. Even getting from the airport to the railway station is not so bad. The worst is that it is so daunting to try to buy a ticket from those tiny (really tiny) little windows selling tickets outside the Beijing train station.
If you have any bags, this station is also a PAIN, as the taxi will get you to the official stop, about 500m across the road from the entrance. Then you have to lug bags down the subway, under the road, up to ground %26amp; then through the specially constricted station entrance, crowded with the 300 other travelers trying to get in. But the trains, themselves are great. No smoking, (mostly obeyed), food available. In some stations there are special counters for foreigners to buy tickets. May exist in Beijing for Tianjin, but don%26#39;t know. If I remember right, there should be a new fast train starting from Beijing to Tianjin about now, but I don%26#39;t know where it leaves from. Outside the train station, at both ends, will be numerous buses touting to trade to take people to Tianjin as soon as they fill. Never tried them, always been scared off by my local friends you pass on anecdotes of being extorted of more money once you%26#39;re underway %26amp; in the countryside. Maybe pure hearsay, I have no experience either way.
But, trains good. If you read Chinese, even ticket easy enough. If you don;t have bags, Beijing station good.
