wale and mewale mewale+mewale&mechina vlogtravel vlogtrain travelbudget travelchina travelchina train travelsleeper trainbudget travel chinahunan travelovernight trainvegan travel chinachina travel vlogrural chinaHow was the sleep on the hard sleeper berth?
It was the best sleep I've had in months, maybe years! I slept the whole night, which never happens!
What was the most challenging aspect of the trip?
Definitely the language barrier. It was the most difficult while traveling, and even pointing and gestures didn't always work.
What was your overall impression of the train?
It was super safe, super comfortable, and not cold at all. The beds were very comfy and I could stretch out completely.
Would you recommend this train journey?
Yes, for sure! It was a success, and I could recommend it, though it was quite pricey for our budget travel standards.
What was the food like on the train?
They sell food on the train, and the dinners were 25 yuan, which isn't a crazy amount for a full meal. We also had lots of snacks that we brought ourselves.
