The Chinese mainland reported approximately 2.3 billion trips during the Spring Festival holiday, which spanned from February 10 to 17 this year. According to data released by the Ministry of Transport (MOT), the country is on track to reach a record high of 9 billion trips during the ongoing Spring Festival travel rush, set to continue until March 5.
This surge in travel highlights the enduring cultural significance of the Spring Festival, as millions of people journey to reunite with family and celebrate the season. The anticipated increase in trips underscores the robust demand for transportation services and the effectiveness of transport infrastructure in accommodating such massive travel volumes.
Experts suggest that this trend may have positive implications for the economy, particularly in the transportation and hospitality sectors. As the Chinese mainland navigates this travel surge, strategies to manage traffic flow and ensure passenger safety remain paramount.
