Tianjin, China, may be known as the gateway to Beijing, but it’s also an incredible city that holds its own. Going back to the year 960, it began as a quiet settlement at the confluence of Hai and Ziya Rivers and prospered over the centuries into a major port center. The city also enjoys its position on a section of the Grand Canal of China, a UNESCO-protected site and the world’s longest man-made waterway. In town, visitors will find historic landmarks, mouthwatering street food and eclectic neighborhoods.

Gubei Water Town completed construction in 2014 as a tourist area designed to replicate its original water village from the Liao and Jin dynasties. Authentic-looking features include stone bridges, narrow cobblestone streets and traditional-style wooden houses.

Hotel Check-in Requirements

By booking this DreamTrip I understand that the hotel may request a credit card upon check-in. The hotel may request the credit card in order to: a) place a monetary hold of US$50-200; or b) hold for incidental, security or other charges. By booking, I acknowledge having received notice of this potential charge and accept that Rovia™ recommends a credit card rather than a debit or bank card be used in the event the hotel requests the card. I understand that any such request made by the hotel is outside of the control of Rovia and is strictly a hotel policy. Should I have questions concerning the hotel’s policy, I accept responsibility for contacting the hotel independent of Rovia.
