ReplyWhich is a better one? Tianjin West or South?
I will stay at Courtyard by Marriott Tianjin Hongqiao. Which station is closer to the hotel?

Answered by Faith from USA | Jan. 22, 2019 18:5600Reply
00ReplyThe West station would be a better option for you. It is about 4km away from the hotel, should be the closest one. Normally 10min by taxi only.
