Layout[edit]
The port of Tangshan consists of three separate port areas: Jingtang (京唐港), Caofeidian and Fengnan (丰南).[4] These are administered separately and have different UNLocodes, but are often considered to be the same port for statistical purposes.[5] The closest airport to the port is Tianjin which is 2 hours away.[6] A new high speed train under construction will shorten the distance from Beijing to Tangshan to [7] less than 2 hours.
