China
China is the only country to operate high-speed sleeper trains. Sleeper services are operated using high-speed CRH1E, CRH2E, CRH5E and CR400AF-AE trains outfitted with sleeping berths. Services from Beijing and Shanghai to Hong Kong are the fastest sleeper trains in the world, running at speeds of up to 350 km/h (220 mph). The newest trains have open-section sleepers in "hard sleeper" class instead of the six-berth doorless couchette compartments found on conventional sleeper trains and the first high-speed units.
