Beijing: China, the world’s most populated country, on Jan 10 ushered in its largest annual migration, 15 days ahead of the Spring Festival, or the Lunar New Year. This year, three billion trips will be made during the travel rush from Jan 10 to Feb 18 for family reunions and travel, according to official forecast.
The 40-day travel rush is known as Chunyune. The Lunar New Year falls on Jan 25 this year, earlier than previous years, which brings a bigger challenge as the return of college students overlap with the travel rush.
