Hi, I am planning a trip to Beijing and need to know if it is difficult to travel to Beijing city from Tianjin? This is because there is a budget airline that flies direct to Tianjin at cheaper fare.

my queries are:
1) What are the available train fares/types around ie slow vs express (pls provide est travel time)?
2) what are the fares like?
3) How convenient from Tianjin airport to Tianjin train station for train to Beijing?
4) safety of travelling alone esp for female on China trains from North (Beijing) to South (eg Guangdong)with some stopovers in major cities along the way? advise much appreciated

thanks in advance
