Answer: For the train condition in China, generally there are four berths in one compartment. You could purchase the four tickets to occupy one whole private compartment. While the tour price on our web page just includes one soft sleeper ticket for each person.

Yes, it is absolutely the first class choice on the train. We are glad to provide this page for your reference.

Dear Agatha, please don't worry about this. My husband and I took a 9-day tour of Beijing/Xian/Shanghai with this company one month ago. Before we planed this trip, we had such worries. Later we told the operator, Judy who was in charge of our trip organization about this. She promised that if we don't want any shopping activities, their guides would obey our wishes. After the tour started, we found they did what they promised. So please set your heart at ease. Just preinform your operator, then you will get rid of the aversion.
