Can I reach Beijing and the Great Wall from Tianjin?
On long calls, yes — but the transfer is roughly three hours each way, so it makes for a very long day. Many ships overnight in Tianjin to make it easier.
How far is Shanghai’s cruise port from the Bund?
Most large ships use the Wusongkou terminal north of the city, around an hour or more from the Bund depending on traffic; smaller ships may dock closer in.
