After a day full of learning and exploring different things in Xi’an, we boarded the early morning train to Yichang. All of us were scattered in the train, some were in hard sleeper class while others were in soft sleeper class. Some students slept, while others were busy socializing by doing stuff like playing cards, watching movies and eating during the 14-hour train ride. It was really funny seeing people struggling to go to bathroom when the train stopped as the bathrooms are locked every time the train stops. It was a fun to buy snacks from vendors in the train. After the exhausting train ride, there was an hour-long bus ride where our cruise (Yangtze Gold 1) was docked.
