Thank you for your inquiry.

Currently, there are only two morning trains a day from Datong South to Xi'an North. If you need an afternoon train, you may consider to make a transfer in Taiyuan first. There are some afternoon high speed rides from Datong to Taiyuan and also late afternoon rides from Taiyuan to Xi'an. You can check detailed schedule on our website. Hope this information can help you.

Yes, there is meal for sale and snacks for sale, Chinese styled food for sure. And train staff sale some other things too, but no idea what was that as they only speak Chinese. It is also good to take meal of your own. I see much people take their own food on trains.

How to get our family together in the same room?
I want to book the soft sleeper bed from Xi'an to Datong. However, it seems I cannot select the beds online? As a family, we do not want to separate from each other for this 16 hours overnight trip.

Thank you for your inquiry.
The beds are assigned randomly by the railway company, however, usually it is still possible to get the beds together in same cabin for a group travelers. You are welcomed to leave us this bed requests in our booking form as a remark. We will surely try our best for your request. In case, there is no suitable beds left in same cabin, we will inform you first. Please rest assured.
