The Spring Festival travel rush generates high demand for routes such as Hong Kong West Kowloon, Chengdu East, and Kunming South, for which tickets are already in short supply. Authorities are using real-time booking data to add extra trains on high-demand routes and encourage travelers to use the official 12306 app for schedule updates and waitlisting.
Due to the high passenger volume, travelers are advised to double-check their ticket details, plan their journeys, and allow sufficient time for urban travel and station security checks. Last-minute travel is discouraged.
