China's railways just hit a new milestone: 726 million passenger trips raced across the system in January and February 2025, up 4.7% from last year! 🎉 The Spring Festival travel rush turbocharged the numbers as families, students, and tourists hopped on trains nationwide. Imagine moving nearly the population of Europe in two months—now that’s travel energy!
To keep up, operators ran a daily average of 11,605 trains—an strong 8.7% jump from 2024. Plus, modern perks like seamless transfers at 120 stations and in-train food delivery at 89 stops made journeys smoother than a TikTok dance trend. 🍜📱
International routes also shined: The China-Laos Railway carried 59,000 cross-border travelers (up 57.9%!), while routes to Mongolia and Russia boosted tourism and global connections. Talk about rails linking the world! 🌏✨
