Flight from London to Tianjin

Nicknamed as “The diamond of the Bohai gulf”, Tianjin in north-western China is a famous port city and is also home to one of the best industrial sectors. The city has immense history due to its colonialization by the westerners. This is reflected in the Romanized churches and European-style houses. With over 10 million residents living here, Tianjin is one of the most populated cities in the whole world. The perfect blend of Asian and Western cultures makes Tianjin all the more interesting to visit.

Tip: The best months to visit Tianjin are between March and May or later, from September till mid-October.
