2026 nián2026年chūn yùn春运kāi qǐ开启：kuà yuè跨越shān山hǎi海qù去tuán yuán团圆
On February 2, 2026, the annual 'Spring Festival travel rush' officially began.
The Spring Festival travel rush refers to the large-scale transportation during the Chinese New Year period, lasting 40 days this year.
Because this year's Spring Festival has a 9-day holiday, the longest in history, the demand for going home is very high.
It is expected that there will be 9.5 billion passenger trips nationwide, setting a new historical record.
Whether by high-speed train, airplane, or driving themselves, everyone shares the same goal: to go home for the New Year.
With the development of technology, the Spring Festival travel rush has become more and more convenient.
In the past, people had to queue overnight to buy tickets; now young people can buy tickets just by tapping on their phones.
For elderly people who are not good at using phones, the railway department also provides a special phone booking service.
This year's travel experience has also improved.
Many newly opened high-speed rail lines and stations have greatly shortened travel time.
On some long-distance sleeper trains, each berth now has an independent charging socket and blackout curtains, allowing passengers to rest better on the road.
In addition, if you choose to drive yourself, the free time on highways has been extended, and there are more charging facilities on the road than before.
Besides going back home for the New Year, the 'reverse Spring Festival travel' is also popular now, where parents come to the cities where their children work to celebrate together.
No matter how the journey home changes, everyone's longing for family and expectation for reunion will never change.
The Spring Festival travel rush carries everyone's emotions and hopes.
Wishing every traveler on the road a safe and smooth journey home, and a warm and happy Spring Festival.
