Tianjin Port
Tianjin Port, approximately 160 kilometers (99.4 miles) from Beijing and 56 kilometers (34.8 miles) from Tianjin City, is the biggest artificial port and important foreign commercial port of China. It plays a significant role in the development of the nation's transportation and trading.
Although it became a port during the Tang Dynasty (618-907AD), the history of Tianjin Port can be traced back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). Officially opened to the outside world in 1860, it was one of the earliest foreign trading ports of China. The present Tianjin Port was rebuilt in 1939.
Tianjin Port is the main hub of the Chinese coast and an important link in the transportation system connecting Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province. It links more than 400 ports of over 180 countries in the world and enjoys friendly cooperation with the ports of Japan, South Korea, America and the Netherlands.
The passenger depot of Tianjin Port, with modern facilities, has two main buildings equipped with 9 waiting halls and rooms. To the west of the main building there is a booking hall to purchase tickets and a dining room.

Comments and Questions
I will re-phrase my questions:
In Changping, are the bus stops for Line no.919 and Line no.314 on the city streets or are they in the parking area for the Ming Dynasty Wax Museum?
If the bus stops for Line no.919 and Line no.314 are on the city streets, which streets are they located?
What is the distance between the bus stops for Line no.919 and Line no.314?
Can we walk between the bus stops for Line no.919 and Line no.314 without crossing traffic on city streets?
What is the distance between the stop for bus no.925 and bus no.314?
Thank you.

The two stops are on the city street, the stop of bus no. 314 is on Jingyin Road which is to the east of the wax museum, while the stop of bus no. 919 is near the south gate of the wax museum which is to the south of the museum. the distance between the two stops is about 700 meters, you can just walk between them, but you need to crossing traffic on city streets.Bus No. 925 and 314 stop at the same bus stop.
In Changling, are the bus stops for Line no.919 and Line 314 and Line 325 all in the parking lot of the Ming Dynasty Wax Museum? What is the distance between the stops? Can we walk between stops without going on to city streets with traffic?
Thank you.

i heard that there are buses from Tianjin Port to Beijing, and you can buy the bus tickets on the ship. but i'm not sure where the bus will stops in Beijing. if you take the bus to Beijing, you may take subway line 1 to Wangfujing station and exit from Exit C and walk for about 260 meters or just take a taxi to the hotel. if you cann't find the bus from Tianjin port to Beijing, you can take bus No. 102 or a taxi from the port to Tanggu railway station, and then take the intercity train to beijinng south railway station. after you get off the train, you can take subway line 4 to Xidan Station and transfer to Subway Line 1 and get off at Wangfujing station, exit from Exit C.Hi there,
is there any public transportation i.e. train/bullet train from Tianjin International Airport to Beijing? how much does it cost and how long does it take to reach there?

Need to rent a van when we arrive in Xiangang port to take us to hotel Ibis in Tanggu. Last year when we arrived, taxi at port wants to charge $100 RMB for a 10 minute ride, or they refused to take short fare. This time we have 4 adults and 8 suitcases, so want to rent a van/2 taxis in advance. Can we call taxi company to reserve?

you can reserve the taxi when you arrive at the port, here is the telephone number of the public transportaion center: +86 022 96880 and the number of a taxi company: +86 022 26353731,but i'm not sure whether they provide English service. i suggest find a Chinese-speaker to help you.
