00:04 China's Spring Festival Express, which is said to be the largest on the planet,
00:09 officially starts today, and will last for 40 days.
00:12 According to reports, since the ticket was sold on January 12,
00:15 the accumulated number of tickets sold is 190 million.
00:19 The Deputy Minister of Transport of China, Li Yang,
00:22 had predicted that in these 40 days,
00:24 there would be 9 billion people traveling and sightseeing,
00:27 and it is likely to set a new record.
00:30 Li Yang also said that this year,
00:32 the way of traveling by spring transport has undergone structural changes.
00:35 The traditional transportation, such as rail, highway, civil aviation,
00:39 and water cargo, is expected to reach 180 million people.
00:43 The remaining 80% or equal to 7.2 billion people,
00:47 are traveling by themselves.
00:49 This also set a new record for China's self-driving travel.
00:54 Two weeks later, the New Year is coming.
00:57 Now in China, high-speed rail has become the main option for travel during the spring transport.
01:01 In the high-speed rail carriage repair base,
01:04 staff are carefully inspecting and repairing one by one.
01:07 Not only the inspection of parts,
01:09 but also the facilities inside the high-speed rail are not to be neglected.
01:12 After ensuring that everything is operating normally,
01:14 the staff are also ready to pick up the kids and go home to welcome the Spring Festival.
01:18 The camera turns to the various stations in China.
01:21 The crowds of people have filled up the various areas of the station.
01:24 Passengers are carrying large and small bags to and from their homes.
01:28 On the other hand, there are also crowds at Beijing Airport.
01:31 There are a lot of taxi drivers waiting outside the airport to pick up passengers.
01:35 The Ministry of Transport of China said that
01:37 with China and other countries implementing the visa-free mutual policy,
01:40 the spring transport will also be short-lived.
01:44 It is expected that the international and regional passenger traffic will reach 1.41 million people.
