It is the strategic thoroughfare from the sea to Beijing，and it has been serving as a very important town and the door of the Capital ever since ancient times. Still，Tianjin is a hub of communications，joining the three northern areas of China:the North，the Northeast and the Northwest of China. The straight distances from Tianjin to Shenyang in the Northeast of China，to Baotou in the Northwest，to Xuzhou and Zhengzhou in the South are less than 600 km. What's more，Tianjin is a vital communication line of a dozen of provinces in North China to the sea and it has the largest artificial harbour in North China-Tianjin Harbour. The harbour has over 30 waterways to more than 300 international ports.
