Port and Airport Information

Port/Seafreight

Although Beijing is an inland city, its international sea freight exports mainly go through Tianjin Xingang. Although Beijing does not have barge points directly connected to major water systems like the Yangtze River or Pearl River, through close cooperation with Tianjin Xingang, it can efficiently arrange cargo transshipment. Tianjin Xingang, located on the coast of the Bohai Sea, offers a wide range of shipping routes to destinations around the world. Beijing’s goods can be transported to Tianjin Xingang by land, and then be shipped globally, making full use of the port’s rich route resources.

Airport/AirFreight

Beijing is an aviation hub with two major international airports: Beijing Capital International Airport and Beijing Daxing International Airport. Beijing Capital International Airport is about 25 kilometers northeast of the urban area, while Beijing Daxing International Airport is about 46 kilometers south of the urban area. These airports are equipped with modern freight warehouses and advanced security inspection equipment. They operate a large number of daily flights, not only to major domestic cities but also to international destinations across the globe, with complete air freight capabilities.
