Movie Magic: Top Cinemas in Tianjin

What's there not to love about a night at the movies? With the smell of freshly made popcorn wafting through the air, and your favourite film stars blown up huge on the screen, watching movies on the big screen simply has a greater impact than watching at home. Luckily, China has developed a healthy appetite for movies, which means increasingly more and better cinemas to choose from. We've looked at location, price, comfortable seating and viewing experience, and picked out some of the top cinema venues in Tianjin. Included in the following are some older venues like Wanda Cineplex, as well as newly opened cinemas – each in their own right serving to accommodate for your different movie viewing needs.
