The 40-day Spring Festival travel rush, started on Jan. 26 this year, came to the last day on Wednesday. The Spring Festival, which falls on Feb. 10 this year, is traditionally the most important holiday of the Chinese people. It is a custom for families to reunite in the holiday, a factor that has led to massive seasonal travel rushes in recent years as more Chinese leave their hometowns to seek work elsewhere.

    The annual 40-day travel rush that occurs over the Spring Festival season has almost drawn to a close on March 5, 2013. However, the railway station of Gui Yang, Gui Zhou province has remained busy.

    Among the railway passengers, most are migrant workers. The daily passenger traffic is expected to reach about 45,000 at Gui Yang Railway Station.
