Thank you for your inquiry.

We are sorry that for sleeper trains, there is no bed selection function. All beds are assigned randomly by railway system. We are sorry that we cannot choose beds for your family directly, but it is still possible to get beds together if there are still many beds for sale. You can inform us this bed request at the bottom of our booking form as a remark. We will notice it and follow your request.

You can take bus No. 116 directly for the transfer between stations. The bus should take around 1 hour. By taxi, it would be much faster, 30min. At this time, I think Hengyang could be a good option as well. You can check this route.
