When one is taking the trains in China, and one has large luggage, where does it get stowed on the train cars? Is there a luggage rack above the seats? Does it go under your seat or in between the rows? Do you put it in a rack at the end of the car, and if so is it safe there? Or do you just put it in the aisle? My husband and I will each have a large rolling duffel bag and a small carry on size tote along with a purse and computer bag.

Will porters at the train stations want to carry the luggage for us to try to get a tip, like at airports? Or is it all self serve?

Inquiring minds want to know to be prepared for the pushing and shoving that ensues when a train pulls into a station and everyone tries to cram onto the train at the same time. I don't want to miss the train.
