History
Location and Layout
Jingtang port is located in Bohai bay (Bohai sea) close to the port of Tianjin.
It is part of Tangshan port (along with Caofeidian and Fengnan), though Jingtang has a separate UN Locode and is specified as a separate entity in maritime charter parties and in bills of lading. The closest airport to the port is that of Tianjin which is about 2 hours away. A new high speed train under construction is expected to shorten the distance from Beijing to Tangshan to even lesser.

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q42309918. Authority coordinates are 39.209, 119.002. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
