The Chunyun, or Spring Festival travel rush, is a large-scale transportation phenomenon in China that occurs around the Chinese New Year. It typically starts 15 days before the holiday and lasts until about 25 days after. During this period, hundreds of millions of Chinese people travel back to their hometowns to reunite with their families. The volume of passenger traffic far surpasses the annual peak of any other country, earning it the title of "the largest human migration on Earth." The government and relevant departments implement a range of measures to ensure smooth and safe transportation. Chunyun is not only a major event in Chinese society but also showcases the capacity and organizational efficiency of China's modern transportation system.
春運是中國在農歷春節前后出現的大規模交通運輸現象,通常從春節前15天開始,持續到節后25天左右。其間,數億中國人紛紛返鄉與親人團聚,客流量遠超其他任何國家的年度交通流量峰值,因此被稱為“地表最大規模的人口遷徙”。政府及相關部門會采取一系列措施,確保交通暢通和安全。春運不僅是中國社會的重要事件,也展現了中國現代交通運輸系統的承載能力和組織協調水平。
