During a 40-day period, from the end of January to early March, China will undergo its spring travel rush as millions of Chinese will attempt to travel out of cities and across the country to spend Chinese New Year with their family.
Chinese New Year will fall on February 7 this year.
According to GlobalPost, the number of Chinese trying to get home will only continue to rise until this weekend. Travel will then likely relax, only to spike again from February 11 to 13 as Chinese attempt to return to the cities for work.
GlobalPost, citing the Chinese government, is predicting that there will be a total of 2.91 billion journeys made in China until the spring travel rush ends on March 3.
Already, hundreds of thousands of Chinese are already trying to return to their home towns. Their journeys have largely been delayed due to bad weather throughout the country, adding delays to an already gigantic miss migration.
