Hello, can I choose bed when making the booking online?

Thank you for your inquiry.

The beds cannot be chose directly, but we will try our best for this bed request. If there are many beds left on the train, the chance will be bigger. Or you may choose to use our delivery service. In this way, the chance of getting a lower bed would be even bigger. Hope for your kind understanding.

How can I buy soft sleeper tickets?

I want to book K9036 from Guangzhou to Zhangjiajie for my family of 4. Soft sleeper would be the best option. But it seems I cannot find soft sleeper ticket online. Is there soft sleeper tickets for sale? If not, can i buy 6 tickets to get the whole hard sleeper cabin for my family?

Answered by TravelChinaGuide | Oct. 31, 2018 00:03

Thank you for your inquiry.
There is indeed no soft sleeper tickets for sale on this ride. We are pleased to book hard sleeper tickets for you, however, due to the real name policy, each passenger can only buy one ticket. Therefore, we are sorry that we cannot buy 6 tickets for 4 passengers to hold the whole cabin. Hope for your kind understanding.
