The Deluxe Cabin is equipped with two beds and a toilet in each compartment. However, the deluxe cabins are only available on a few trains at present. There is no deluxe cabin from Kunming to Dali. If you do not want to be disturbed by others, you can reserve one soft cabin (4 soft sleepers).

Thanks for the info. How much does it cost to reserve the 4 soft sleepers? Does the cabin have its own private western-style wc? When do we need to book this by? We want to go on the 24th July?

You would better arrange it as early as possible such as in early June, since train tickets are always hard to buy. And there are only standard squat toilets available at the two ends of each compartment on the train. For the price, just check on the page or make an online inquiry.
