This figure is around twenty percent higher that the same time last year, making it a record high. To cope3 with the increased volume of passengers, 346 temporary trains were added to take people to sightseeing venues4 and back home.
According to 12306, the hotline system for train tickets bookings and sales, the route from Beijing to Tianjin was the busiest during the three-day holiday.
