China’s Dragon Boat Festival turned into a travel marathon this year, with over 653.7 million inter-regional trips recorded during the three-day holiday! 🎉 According to the Ministry of Transport, that’s a 2.5% jump compared to 2023—proof that wanderlust is alive and kicking. 🚗💨
Road trips dominated the scene, making up 597 million of the total journeys—imagine enough cars to circle the Earth 15 times! 🛣️ Meanwhile, railways handled 48 million passengers, waterways saw 2.7 million, and airlines soared with 5.6 million flyers. ✈️
The Duanwu Festival, celebrated on May 31 this year, isn’t just about zongzi (sticky rice dumplings 🍙)—it’s a cultural reset button for millions. From family reunions to scenic getaways, this data shows how tradition and modern travel collide in today’s China. 🌏✨
