BEIJING, Feb. 2 (Xinhua) — China's Chunyun period, a special season for transportation during the mass migration of Chinese people before, during, and after Spring Festival, began Monday, 15 days before the 2026 Spring Festival, also known as the traditional Chinese New Year or Spring Festival.
During the peak period of the country's transport system, which lasts until March 13, the number of interregional passenger trips made across China during this period is expected to reach a total of 9.5 billion person-times, which in turn is likely to be a new historical high.
Of this total, independent car travel will continue to dominate, accounting for an estimated 80 percent.
Passenger traffic volumes in rail transport and the civil aviation sector are forecast to reach 540 million and 95 million person-times, respectively, with both the total passenger traffic volume and average daily peaks in these sectors expected to exceed historical highs of previous years.
As a reminder, since the Spring Festival is the most important traditional holiday in China, every year during the 40-day Chunyun season, hundreds of millions of people who work, study, or live away from their hometowns return home to reunite with family for the Spring Festival celebrations and then travel back. -0-
