BEIJING China is likely to see 49.7 million railway passenger trips from Friday to next Monday during the upcoming holiday travel rush, according to the national railway operator.
A peak of more than 14 million passenger trips in a single day is expected on April 3, the first day of the three-day Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, said China State Railway Group Co Ltd on Friday.
With domestic COVID-19 control efforts paying off, travel demand has picked up as people opt to visit family and friends, go on spring outings and worship their ancestors during the holiday, said the group.
