Hold onto your train tickets, folks! China’s 2025 Spring Festival travel rush, or Chunyun, is gearing up to be the biggest ever—with a jaw-dropping 9 billion inter-regional trips expected nationwide. That’s a 7% jump from last year!
When Tradition Meets Mega Travel
From January 14 to February 22, millions will flood highways, rail stations, and airports to reunite with family for the Lunar New Year (January 29). Rail journeys alone are predicted to hit 510 million, while air travel could soar to 90 million passengers. Talk about a logistical marathon!
Green Travel Gets a Boost
With electric vehicles (EVs) booming, eight government departments—including the Ministry of Transport—have pledged to expand charging infrastructure at busy service areas. No more ‘range anxiety’ during pit stops!
Authorities are also prioritizing safety and smooth operations, ensuring everyone gets home safely. Because nothing says ‘Happy New Year’ like a stress-free journey!
