Soft sleeper lounge.

I booked the most expensive class for my 22 hour train journey into the heart of mainland China. While walking around the train station, I see a “soft sleeper lounge” sign. I booked a soft sleeper (they don't call it first class), and I walk in. A woman is shouting at me, and I show her my ticket, she looks at me kinda funny, and then motions me in. I walk in, and I see...
Comfortable chairs, no crowd, electric outlets. After the rushes and crowds of the city, hauling my newly purchased luggage and garments through the masses, I've found a slice of heaven.
