The Train to Tianjin (aka Harbin East)

The Tuesday after we arrived we decided to take the high speed train to the city of Tianjin. It's on the east coast of China, and by this train it's only 30 minutes away. Why Tianjin? Because they have a Bavarian brewery there, that's why! They had an excellent Hei Pi (Dunkle, Dark beer) and the food was a rustic style Chinese, which was interesting and good!

Here's a picture of Lightnin with our friend Aaron and the brewery/restaurant staff in the background


Here are the two of us in the square near the river just outside the main train station


Just in case you were wondering, yes you can get a Bud in China












On the way back to Beijing the train hit a rocketing fast speed of 335km/hr (208mph) and it was a surprisingly smooth ride.
