🧒 How are children charged? — Priced the same as adults, but with a more friendly experience
According to current standards, all cabins on the ‘Xiaoxiang Hao’ tourist special train are priced per person, regardless of age. This means:
Whether adult or child (including infants), if occupying a berth, the full fee for the corresponding room type must be paid;
If a child does not occupy a berth separately (e.g., held by a parent), no ticket is needed, but there will be no bed or exclusive service resources throughout the trip;
In practice, due to train space and service configuration limitations, it is strongly recommended to book a separate berth for each child to ensure rest quality and travel experience.
> 💡 Warm Tip:Prices and availability are subject to confirmation in the contract or by customer service on the day, may vary with schedules, and are ultimately based on the signed tourism contract between both parties.
