China reports sharp drop in Spring Festival travel
(210308) -- NANJING, March 8, 2021 (Xinhua) -- Passengers get ready to board at Nanjing Railway Station in Nanjing, east China's Jiangsu Province, March 8, 2021. March 8 marks the last day of this year's Spring Festival travel rush. During the travel rush, spanning from Jan. 28 to March 8 this year, an estimated 870 million trips were made nationwide. It plunged by 40.8 percent from the previous year, and 70.9 percent less than that of the 2019 Spring Festival travel rush. Many Chinese people opted to stay put during the Spring Festival holiday this year in response to the government's call to avoid unnecessary gatherings as part of anti-epidemic measures.
