Boating on Haihe River

Plan your Tianjin tour? Don’t miss boating on Haihe River! As you know, Tianjin lies on the downstreams of nine rivers with crisscross river courses, hence the name of Water City in Northern China. The 72km Haihe River flows through the city of Tianjin and emptifies itself into the Bohai Sea at Tanggu of New Binhai District in Tianjin.

After all-round revamping and redevelopment, Haihe River has been beautified as a sightseeing and bsiness belt. Crusing on Haihe River gives you a chance to enjoy the spectacular views on the both sides of the river lined with historical buildings, modern highrises, hotels, shopping centers, restaurants and recreation units.

Now 20 pleasure boats run every day with three boating routes. The pleasure boats are operated by Tianjin Haihe River Boat Co.,Ltd. It started the Haihe River Cruise service on July 13, 2009. At the time of my writing, it operates three cruising routes with three ferry terminals. Below is the Timetable for Haihe River Boating:
