Tianjin Xingang (literally Tianjin New Port) is the largest and most important seaport in Northern China and the main marine gateway to the capital of the People’s Republic at Beijing. The actual municipality of Tianjin is a short way inland. The capital is about 170 km (105 miles) away, served by a highway connection, as well as a high-speed bullet train. Seabourn uses the port for access to an optional mid-cruise overland Journey to Bejing and its many incomparable wonders including the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square, the Ming Tombs and the Great Wall.
