Powerpoint socket in China trains?
Hi all, I'm planning to take T101 train from Shanghai to Shenzhen. it is an 18-hr ride so I was wondering if the soft sleeper cabin has powerpoint sockets for charging laptops, etc. If not, are there any in the other carriages?

thanks a lot!

The train is actually over 19 hours.
Yes there are some but they do not always work.

There may be a socket or two underneath the table between the two lower bunks, and may be in the corridor. But don't expect a socket for each bed.

Watch the scenery, read a book. Or skip the train and just fly.

I'm considering the train in the opposite direction from Hong Kong to Shanghai in a 2-person Deluxe Sleeper. I have the ame question for those compartments, thanks.

Cheers, Alan, Australia

There are definitely deluxe softsleeper on the direct Hong Kong-Shanghai and Hong Kong-Beijing trains. I'd GUESS there should be a power socket in each compartment, but not at each berth.
