China’s mega-holiday season is off to a roaring start! 🌟 The first day of the National Day–Mid-Autumn Festival break saw millions of travelers flood airports, train stations, and highways, turning the country into a giant ‘wanderlust playground’ as scenic spots sold out within hours. 🎑🚀
This year’s holiday is extra special: The Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with National Day, creating an 8-day break that many are stretching to 12 days with extra time off. Think of it as China’s version of ‘revenge travel’ meets family reunion vibes! 👨👩👧👦🌕
According to the Ministry of Transport, over 340 million passenger trips were recorded on October 1 alone. Total cross-regional travel during the holiday could hit a jaw-dropping 2.36 billion trips – that’s like moving the entire populations of North America, Europe, and Australia combined! 🌏📈
From the Great Wall to Shanghai’s skyline, popular destinations are buzzing. Pro tip for travelers: Book fast, pack light, and maybe avoid peak hours unless you’re into ‘people-watching: extreme edition.’ 😉🎒
