Hey everyone! The Chinese mainland just wrapped up an epic Dragon Boat Festival holiday, logging over 653.7 million inter-regional passenger trips—a 2.5% increase from last year. 🚀 Whether you’re hopping on a bus or catching a high-speed rail ride, it’s clear that travel is back in full swing!
The data from the Ministry of Transport shows that road journeys dominated with over 597.32 million trips. Meanwhile, rail travel saw 48.03 million trips, water routes added 2.73 million, and airlines handled 5.63 million trips during the break.
This surge not only highlights a festive spirit but also mirrors the dynamic lifestyle many young urbanites and early professionals in South and Southeast Asia can relate to—always on the move, embracing connectivity, and celebrating culture in innovative ways. Just like our vibrant local festivals, this blend of tradition and modern mobility keeps the energy high and the journey exciting! 😎
Stay tuned as these trends continue to shape how we travel and connect across the region. Happy adventures and safe travels!
