The above private guided tour is tailored for you, your family or your friends exclusively. No other participants will be in your group. In other words, others will not join in your tour and you will not take part into any tours of others on our land services.

Perhaps there are two options:
One, buy fiver berth tickets, 3 in one compartment while 2 in another, sharing with one or two Chinese;
Two, buy 8 berth tickets, namely two whole compartments, also 3 in one compartment while 2 in another separately.
It depends on you. If you are reluctant to stay with others, you may choose option 2. It also can leave you more space for your luggages. If it is not a problem, option 1 could be more economical.

I read lots of tips and comments on the website and got known that for long distance train travel, the soft sleeper train is the best choice. I know generally there are 4 bunks in each comparment, but we are a family of 5 people, how can we arrange the tickets? Do we need to buy two whole compartments? Any better way to follow? BTW, we would like to train from Beijing to Xian and back.

This summer, I visited Beijing and Xian in China. I took overnight soft sleeper train from Beijing to Xian, which saved me one night hotel room. When I got on the train, I found that Chinese train is different from western style train. On the train in China, the soft-sleeper carriages are divided into separate compartments and each compartment has two lower and two upper berths. Since I only purchase one of upper berths, I shared the compartment with another three strangers, who were all Chinese. It was a little bit strange to stay in one compartment with strangers at the beginning. But those three Chinese were very freindly and one young man could speak a little English. I spent a good time on the train.
