Transportation in China in 1988

Chinese Train Service - 26

China has an extensive train service, both local and long distance. The trains are clean and readily available except during the Chinese New Year when 800,000,000 Chinese travel to see the 500,000,000 who chose to stay home so the 800,000,000 can come to visit them. Available on the trains are four classes of accommodations, hard seat, soft seat, hard bed, and soft bed. We often take a train into the big city.
