====China==== [[File:Railroad passenger car of China.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb|A double-deck conventional passenger sleeping car of China in April 2006]] [[China Railway]] operates an extensive network of conventional sleeper trains throughout the country, covering all [[Province (China)|provincial]] capitals and many major cities. The Chinese [[Hard sleeper|"hard" sleeping car]] in use today is very basic, consisting of 6 fixed [[bunk bed]]s per compartment, which can be converted into seats in peak season. The middle level bunk bed will be folded and top level bunk bed will still be sold as sleeper, while the lower bed will be occupied by three passengers. Chinese trains also offer [[Soft sleeper|"soft"]] or deluxe sleeping cars with four or two beds per room. China is the only country to operate [[High-speed rail in China|high-speed]] sleeper trains. Sleeper services are operated using high-speed [[China Railway CRH1#CRH1E|CRH1E]], [[China Railway CRH2#CRH2E|CRH2E]] and [[China Railway CRH5#CRH5E|CRH5E]] trains outfitted with [[Berth (sleeping)#Berths in trains|sleeping berths]] ([[Couchette car|couchette]]).
