We traveled by train back to Beijing and found the overall experience satisfactory. The train was clean and well-maintained, and onboard staff regularly offered food and beverages. However, we were disappointed with the seat selection process during booking. There was no clear option to choose window seats, which resulted in us being assigned middle and aisle seats on both legs of the trip. Improving the clarity of seat selection options would greatly enhance the booking experience.
