Thanks for the question again! At present, only business class carriages are separated from other kinds of carriages as those business ones are usually situated at the both ends of the train. Other carriages cannot be separated, because that may bring some troubles for security patrolling and ticket checking during the train journey.
Hope this helps and enjoy your China tour!
Thanks for your question! Whether there are business seats, it depends on the specific type of the high-speed train and the running routes. Different types of high speed trains and trains on different routes may equip with different seats. Currently all the direct train between HK and Xiamen have no business class seats.
