Chinese people will make 3 billion trips for the Lunar New Year this month
Billions of Chinese travellers will soon be packed across airports, trains and bus stations as they head home for one of the country's biggest celebrations, Chinese New Year.
A mindboggling 2.98 billion trips will be made over a 40-day stretch this Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, up 2 percent from last year.
The official Xinhua news agency reports that more than 8.6 million trips were made last Friday alone, the first day of the annual travel rush.
For many, the seven-day Chinese New Year holiday is one of the few chances they get to travel home.
The mass migration isn't new. In previous years it's been dubbed the world's largest annual human migration.
