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.[3][4] The closest airport to the port is that of Tianjin which is about 2 hours away.[5] A new high speed train under construction is expected to shorten the distance from Beijing to Tangshan to [6] even lesser.
