China’s railways are buzzing like a K-pop concert venue this weekend as millions scramble to return home after the National Day holiday. With the golden week wrapping up, 18.73 million train trips are expected on Sunday alone—enough to fill 280,000 bullet trains!
Rail authorities added over 1,400 extra trains to handle the post-vacation rush, calling it the ‘peak return period’. Daily passenger numbers have stayed above 17 million for six straight days, proving everyone’s racing to squeeze in one last dumpling or Great Wall selfie before the grind resumes.
A whopping 155 million tickets were booked via China’s 12306 platform by Sunday morning—think of it as the ‘Taylor Swift ticket rush’ but for trains. Stations optimized entry queues and deployed extra staff to keep things smooth, because no one wants a ‘holiday hangover’ from travel chaos.
From September 29 to October 8, China’s rail network aims to handle 175 million trips. That’s like moving the entire population of Nigeria—on tracks.
