Accommodation on the Train
|
|
In order to reach some remote destinations, clients sometimes have to go by overnight train. In regard to the condition of the train, sleepers are necessary for more privacy and space. There are two types of sleepers.
|
| |
Hard Sleeper |
| There are six bunks in a compartment without door, including two upper bunks, two middle and two lower. Every compartment opens to corridor and in most cases, it is noisy even when it is time to go to bed. A blanket and a pillow are equipped with every bunk. For the security of middle bunk and lower bunk, there are two safety belts connecting with the bunk. Each carriage has two toilets and a washing basin at the connecting area of the two carriages. |
| |
Soft Sleeper |
| There are four bunks in a compartment with a door, including two upper bunks and two lower. Besides a blanket and a pillow, some soft sleeper bunks are equipped with a desk lamp. Clients can control the air-conditioning and broadcast on train through the bottom near the door. At the end of carriage, there are two toilets. One is a Chinese toilet and the other is a Western one. We highly recommend soft sleeper to your clients for the overnight trip. |
