China Sleeper Train: Chongqing to Zhangjiajie Journey

It is time for another unforgettable train adventure in China as I travel from Chongqing to Zhangjiajie aboard the K1095—a conventional “K-series” service known for its reliable, long-distance journeys. It may not be as speedy or modern as the high-speed “G” or “D” trains, but this slow sleeper train offers a unique glimpse into everyday life on Chinese railways. In this video, I spend 6.5 hours discovering every corner of our carriage, getting to know other passengers, and figuring out the tricky upper bunk in my soft sleeper cabin. If you’re curious about what it’s like to ride a traditional sleeper train in China, this adventure is for you. Enjoy the journey!
