Hold onto your hats, travelers! China is gearing up for a historic 270 million daily trips during this year's five-day Labor Day holiday starting Wednesday. According to the Ministry of Transport, this year's travel frenzy will outpace both 2023 and pre-pandemic 2019 levels – think of it as 'revenge travel' on steroids!
Private vehicles will dominate the roads, accounting for over 80% of all trips. Highways alone could see 63.5 million vehicles daily – nearly double the usual traffic. Meanwhile, railways and airports are prepping for passenger numbers that exceed 2019 benchmarks, signaling a full rebound in mobility.
Here's a pro tip for road trippers: Toll fees for passenger vehicles (≤7 seats) will be waived nationwide during the holiday. Time to crank up those playlists and hit the road!
With the travel bug biting harder than ever, this holiday is set to rewrite China's mobility playbook. Whether you're exploring megacities or mountain villages – safe travels out there!
