China is gearing up for an unprecedented travel surge as the three-day Qingming Festival approaches. Latest data from the Ministry of Transport reveal that around 790 million cross-regional trips are expected during the holiday period, setting a new record for the festival.
The Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb Sweeping Day, is a traditional time when families come together to honor their ancestors and enjoy the spring weather. This anticipated increase in travel reflects a strong desire among residents to reunite with loved ones and participate in cultural traditions after periods of travel restrictions.
Transportation authorities across the Chinese mainland are preparing to accommodate the massive flow of travelers. Measures are being implemented to ensure safety and efficiency across all modes of transport, including enhanced services and management protocols.
The record-breaking travel expectations underscore the resilience and vibrancy of domestic tourism, highlighting a significant moment for the nation’s recovery and cultural celebration.
