Is train travel comfortable in China? If so I'd like to take a train instead of flights.

Traveling by train is perhaps the cheapest way to travel some long distances, however, the level of comfort may depend on the train class. There are four classes on Chinese trains: hard seat-cheapest class and is used by a large percentage of the population. Sitting only cars, there are usually extremely crowded with the aisle filled with passengers because more tickets are sold than there are seat available. Soft seat:Soft Seat is available on the inter-city lines and provides a better level of comfort. Soft Seat is quite comfortable inexpensive method of travel for a journey of a few hours. Hard sleeper: There are six narrow bunks to a compartment that has no door so there is no privacy, often noisy.
Sopt sleeper: There are four bunks in a compartment which has a door for privacy.
