Most travel for family visits, tourism on 16th day of holiday travel rush

Most Chinese passengers traveled for family visits and tourism on the 16th day of the 40-day Spring Festival travel rush on Wednesday, also the first day of the Chinese New Year.

The 40-day travel period, which began on Jan 14, is expected to witness a record 9 billion passenger trips across the country.

China’s transportation system handled over 190 million passenger trips on Wednesday, with 5.5 million trips made by rail and 180 million trips by road. A total of 204 trains were added to accommodate the surging demand.

In Wanzai County of east China’s Jiangxi Province, large crowds are expected as a fireworks show is being staged every night during the Spring Festival holiday, prompting the deployment of traffic police officers.

“We have also arranged motorcycle police to patrol nearby so that any traffic congestion can be handled in a timely manner,” said Xin Tao, a traffic police officer of Wanzai County.

In the aviation sector, 2.06 million air passenger trips were made on 17,181 flights on Wednesday.

During the holiday, south China’s Hainan Province, one of the country’s most popular tourist destinations, anticipates another peak tourist season. Hainan’s three major airports are expected to handle 1.67 million passenger trips during the holiday.

On the waterways, the number of passenger trips was estimated at 650,000 on Wednesday, mainly for tourism.
