Hold onto your red envelopes! China's 2026 Spring Festival travel rush is gearing up to smash all previous records with 9.5 billion trips expected between February 2 and March 13 – that's more than Earth's population multiplied by 1.2! 🌏📈
Road trips will dominate this Lunar New Year migration, making up 80% of journeys as families reunite across the Chinese mainland. Meanwhile, railways anticipate 540 million passengers (think 7x the world's Instagram users!) and airports prepare for 95 million flyers – both sectors expecting all-time highs. 🚗💨
This year's 'chunyun' period reflects both traditional family values and modern mobility. Pro tip for travelers: Download those e-tickets early and pack extra patience! 🧧📲
