Introduction

Tianjin Balitai Industrial Park (Tianjin Balitai IP) was established by the Tianjin Municipal Government in 2006 and covers an area of 6.15 km².

Tianjin Balitai IP is located between Tianjin’s downtown and the Binhai New District, adjacent to Xiqingwei Electronic Industrial Park and Dagang Petrochemical Base. It is 15 km from the city’s downtown area, 20 km from Tianjin Binhai International Airport, 25 km from Tianjin Port, and 10 km from Binhai New District.

Tianjin Port is a major passageway for cargo transport. The cargo from Beijing, North and Northwest China have to be loaded on board in Tianjin Port, and then be delivered to other coastal regions of China or to other countries.  In 2007, the port's cargo throughput reached 309 million tons, ranking fourth in China after Shanghai, Ningbo and Guangzhou, and sixth in the world.

Binhai Airport is located 10 km from downtown Tianjin. In 2007, its cargo throughput reached 125,000 tons, ranking twelfth in China.

The IP is close to several expressways such as Tianjin-Shantou, Tianjin-Shanghai, Weihai-Wuhai, Tianjin-Taiyuan and Dandong-Lhasa. There are also rail links to the Beijing-Shanghai Railway and the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway - two major traffic arteries of China.
