China Spring Festival Transport Ticket Purchase Guide

 

            Spring Festival Transportation, or Spring Festival travel rush, is a phenomenon of   large-scale high traffic pressures that occurred in China before and after the Lunar   New Year. It is known as the largest and periodic human migration in human     history. 

        In 40 days or so, there are more than 3 billion population movements, accounting for 1/2 of the world's population, which is equivalent to two major migrations of the whole nation. China's Spring Festival Transport has been selected as the largest   cyclical transport peak in the world by the World Records Association, creating     many of theworld's greatest and China's greatest.

          The " Spring Festival Transportation " in spoken language has two meanings, one refers to the transportation phenomenon before and after the Spring Festival, and the other is the abbreviation of "Spring Festival Period". Since “Reform and Opening”, with the relaxation of restrictions on the mobility of people, more and more people choose to go out to work and study. Many people concentrated on returning to their hometown during the Spring Festival, forming a spring festival called “the world's rare population movement”.

Over the past 30 years, the Spring Festival Transport army has increased from 100 million to 3.7 billion in 2015, which is equivalent to the scale of the total population of Africa, Europe, America and Oceania moving once, making the transportation in mainland China unbearable. In order to solve the problem of Spring Festival Transport, China government has to deploy ahead of schedule every year, but still can not meet the demands of Spring Festival Transport.
