16 Hours on China's MOST LUXURY Sleeper Train 🇨🇳

📍 Sanya to Guangzhou Luxury Private Cabin Sleeper Train

The premium soft sleeper class is China's most luxurious train class. After many months in China and even more lowest-class train journeys, we decided to finish our trip to China on a high! We enjoyed excellent service from an in-cabin waitress who talked us through the menu and served us an incredible Spicy Beef and Rice meal at our private dining table. We enjoyed the sunset and marveled at the amazing feat of engineering to dismantle the train and load it onto a ferry to cross over to mainland China.

Our trip to China has been memorable to say the least, we've had the most amazing time and met incredible people. I'm proud of my language journey going from a complete beginner in Mandarin to having conversations with people from Heihe to Sanya and everywhere in between.
