In celebration of the National Day holiday, crowds gathered at train stations in various cities in China.
The number of train passengers nationwide exceeded 20 million on the first day of the holiday (the 29th) as people returned to their hometowns or went on a trip.
Including temporary trains, a total of 20,900 people boarded 12,500 trains, which was the highest number ever.
There is a long line of cars on highways and major roads.
As the number of air users has also increased, each airport has prepared emergency transportation measures.

This is the first National Day holiday since the quarantine control that had been maintained for three years following the COVID-19 incident was lifted, and the number of people moving has increased rapidly as it overlaps with the Mid-Autumn Festival.
There are many people visiting famous mountains, waterfalls, lakes and parks around the world.

Chinese authorities predicted that 2.05 billion people would travel during the eight-day holiday until October 6, which is 50% more than last year’s National Day holiday.
