Note: Trains between major cities are fast, modern and comfortable, with excellent facilities. However, on minor routes, such as between Liuzhou and Zhangjiajie, the trains are much slower, and the facilities reflect the fact that they are used more by locals than tourists. Local trains may be less comfortable, more crowded and noisy, and with a lower standard of cleanliness. Travelers should be prepared for small Asian toilets, and for the experience of traveling as the locals do.
