China's railways buzzed with activity during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, recording a whopping 78.75 million passenger trips—a 3.5% jump compared to last year! 🚀 Data released Wednesday by China Railway highlights the growing appetite for travel as festivals rebound post-pandemic.
The holiday, celebrated with sticky rice dumplings (zongzi 🫔) and dragon boat races, saw families and adventurers alike hopping on trains to reconnect. Analysts say the surge reflects both cultural traditions and improved rail infrastructure, with high-speed 'bullet trains' 🚅 becoming a go-to for efficient travel across the country.
With summer travel season heating up, this spike signals brighter days for China's tourism and transport sectors. Could this set the stage for record-breaking numbers during upcoming holidays? 🌏✨
