China’s Spring Festival travel frenzy just smashed records with a staggering 9.02 billion inter-regional trips during this year’s 40-day Chunyun period! 🌏 The numbers, released Sunday, highlight the world’s largest annual human migration as families reunite, students head home, and workers crisscross the country. 📈
Road travel dominated with 8.39 billion trips (+7.2% YoY), while railways and air travel hit all-time highs too – 513 million train rides (+6.1%) and 90.2 million flights booked. ✨ Analysts say the surge reflects China’s economic rebound and a post-pandemic thirst for connection.
Dubbed the ‘ultimate stress test’ for transport networks, this year’s Chunyun wrapped on Saturday, proving that even with mind-boggling crowds, logistics can (mostly) keep up. 💪 As Lunar New Year celebrations peaked on January 29, the numbers tell a story of resilience, tech-driven infrastructure, and cultural traditions stronger than ever.
