It feels like train travel is on 🔥: in the first 10 months of 2025, the Chinese mainland's railway network recorded 3.95 billion passenger trips—a 6.4% jump from last year, according to the national rail operator.
What's behind the surge? High-speed rail lines are expanding, making weekend getaways and intercity commutes faster than ever. Plus, mobile booking apps are more user-friendly, letting you tap your phone and secure a seat in seconds. No more long queues or rushed ticket counters!
For young pros and students, trains are a go-to for affordable, eco-friendly travel. Imagine snapping that scenic window shot for your Insta reel as you zip past mountains at 300 km/h. 🌄🚄
With end-of-year holidays just around the corner, expect even more crowds at stations. Whether you're heading home or exploring new cities, the rail network is ready to roll—are you on board? 🎟️✨
