Hold onto your red envelopes—China’s Spring Festival travel rush, aka chunyun, has officially kicked off! The 40-day period, starting Jan. 26, will see a staggering 9 billion trips as millions reunite with family for Lunar New Year celebrations. Talk about squad goals! 🧧
By the Numbers 📊
Railways expect 480 million passengers (that’s 12 million daily trips!), while airports like Guangzhou Baiyun and Shanghai Pudong brace for mega crowds. Self-driving will dominate—80% of trips—as highways turn into parking lots. 🚗💨
Why It’s Bigger Than Ever
With the holiday extended to Feb. 10–17, pent-up demand for family time meets post-pandemic wanderlust. Think of it as a real-life Squid Game… but with more dumplings and fewer eliminations. 🥟✨
Whether by train, plane, or car, China’s homecoming season just got real. Stay tuned for updates as the world’s largest human migration unfolds! 🌟
