splendid experience. our tour guide Jacky is very knowledgeable and friendly

whole trip was smooth. as a first time, English only solo traveler it was a bit confusing. Klook and Amaps showed "Xi'an North Railway Station" but the in-train signs and audio say "Xi'an Bei". A gentleman passenger said it's the same. Whew! Later review of AMap did say Xi'an Bei...but in very fine print.😅

Shanghai Station -> Xian ·
We are a family of 2 adults and 2 kids and we were able to book an entire cabin to ourselves so the experience was wonderful and memorable. The train ride was comfortable. Booking via klook is fast and we were able to use some of our klook cash to reduce the price. It is advisable to buy food before you board. Each bunk has pillows, blanket, hanger and night lamp.
