    The 5-day Qingming Festival railway transportation ended successfully on April 7, marking another remarkable achievement in the positive development trend of railway passenger transportation this year. Nationwide, railways transported 79.63 million passengers, averaging 15.926 million passengers per day, representing a 19.6% increase compared to the Qingming Festival in 2019. On April 4 alone, railways transported 18.536 million passengers nationwide, setting a new record for single-day passenger transportation volume in 2024 and also marking a new record for single-day passenger transportation volume during the Qingming Festival.

  During the festival, there was a strong demand for travel related to home visits, tomb sweeping, outings, and tourism. Hotspot tourist destinations such as Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Chengdu, and Wuhan, as well as popular short-distance routes like Beijing to Tianjin, Guangzhou to Shenzhen, Shanghai to Suzhou, Shanghai to Hangzhou, and Chongqing to Chengdu, experienced relatively concentrated passenger flows for short-to-medium distance travels. In response, railway authorities increased passenger transportation capacity and implemented peak-hour operation schedules. On average, 11,619 passenger trains were operated daily, up by 2,744 trains compared to the Qingming Festival in 2019, with an additional 1,350 temporary trains operated daily.
