Jing-Jin-Ji

Jing-Jin-Ji is a metropolitan region in northern China that connects Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei Province across a broad coastal area. These three territories together form a continuous urban system with different functions and development patterns.

The three areas entered a formal integration process beginning in 2014 to strengthen economic coordination. Since then, new transport routes and infrastructure have been built to increase cooperation between the previously separate territories.

The region brings together three distinct places, each with its own traditions: Beijing with its scholarly heritage, Tianjin with its port culture, and Hebei with its craftsmanship traditions. Visitors can experience these different characters through local architecture, markets, and daily customs.

High-speed trains connect the major cities throughout the region, making travel between Beijing and Tianjin take about 30 minutes. Visitors can explore the entire area by public transportation, which operates regularly and is clearly marked.

The port of Tianjin ranks among the world's busiest and plays a central role in moving goods throughout the region. This port activity is visible to visitors in the dock areas and has shaped the economic development of the entire territory.
