BEIJING, March 11 (Xinhua) — China’s railway passenger trips increased by 4.7 percent year on year to 726 million during the first two months of 2025, hitting an all-time high, China’s railway operator said Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This growth was partly driven by the annual Spring Festival travel rush, which led to a significant rise in cross-regional population movement, according to the China State Railway Group Co., Ltd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During this period, the overlapping of travel home by students, workers and others visiting their families, with those traveling purely as tourists, contributed to a considerable increase in railway passenger volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To meet this booming travel demand, an average of 11,605 passenger trains were operated daily in the period — representing an 8.7 percent year-on-year rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notably, China’s railway services are continuously improving, with convenient transfers available at 120 stations nationwide. Additionally, 89 stations offer internet food-ordering services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concerning outbound passenger trips, the China-Laos Railway carried 59,000 cross-border passengers during the two-month period, up 57.9 percent year on year. Meanwhile, the stable operation of China-Mongolia and China-Russia international passenger trains has also facilitated cross-border personnel exchanges and boosted tourism consumption.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
