Train Rush

As Spring Festival nears, Shanghai has announced that railway peak period started six days earlier. The peak is expected to run for an extended 46 days. The number of passengers travelling is estimated equal to Brazil's population.

Last weekend we had the taste of this peak travel season. People were lining up for hours and crowding ticket offices to reserve and buy their tickets.

I heard from the news, that the government is planning to open-up the ticket offices 24 hours in response to the increasing number passengers.

For those travelling, be careful and book your tickets soonest.

Below is one of the pictures I took in Suzhou train station, on our way back to Shanghai.
