Beijing (Tianjin), China

After breakfast, check out of your hotel in Chengdu and transfer to the airport for your flight. Upon arrival, you will be met by your Viking Representative. The bustling port city of Tianjin is the gateway to the Chinese capital of Beijing. The city’s strategic location along the Grand Canal facilitated its rise as a commercial hub, attracting traders from across the globe for centuries. Today, it handles a large portion of the region’s maritime commerce. Tianjin’s cuisine reflects its port heritage, emphasizing seafood and dishes that are celebrated for their freshness, saltiness and soft yet crispy textures. The colorful street food scene serves a range of local favorites, such as “Eight Great Bowls” and “Four Great Stews.” Transfer to your ship and settle into your stateroom.
