@bonnietravel: My first time in a second class sleeper train cabin in China I travelled from Zhangye to Dunhuang in northwest China on a hard sleeper train for $54.34 AUD! After also experiencing the hard seats overnight on Chinese trains, I can confidently say even the second class sleeper is SO worth the upgrade! SAVE this for your China backpacking trip!
