Guess what? Over 300 million train tickets have been sold for China’s 2025 Spring Festival travel rush! 🚄✨
The Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, is the most important holiday in China. It’s a time when families come together to celebrate. But because so many people want to go home at the same time, it creates the world’s biggest travel event, called chunyun (pronounced “choon-yoon”).
This year’s travel rush started on January 14 and will last until February 22. That’s a total of 40 days! 📅 During this period, authorities are expecting an unprecedented nine billion cross-regional passenger trips. Can you imagine that many journeys? It’s like everyone on the planet traveling more than once! 🌍
Most people book their train tickets using China’s ticket booking platform called 12306. It’s super popular because trains are a fast and affordable way to travel long distances. 🚆
The Spring Festival is a time for fireworks, delicious food, red lanterns, and special performances like lion dances. People also give red envelopes with money to wish good luck. 🧧🎊
Isn’t it amazing how so many people come together to celebrate? Maybe one day, you can experience the Spring Festival too! 🎉
