Record rail trips expected during National Day holidays
September 30, 2015

China is expected to see more than 100 million passengers travel by railways during the coming week-long National Day Holidays from Oct. 1 to 7, the China Railway Corporation said on Wednesday.

The figure reached a record high, up 10 percent year on year, said the company.

A record 13.3 million passengers will take trains on Oct.1, up 13.4 percent from the same day last year thanks to the fast development of China's high-speed rail.

China has 17,000 kilometers of high-speed rail that extends through much of the country, according to the company.

17,000km? I think it was 16,000km by last year. Around 2,000 km new HSRs have been added so far in 2015.

I will definitely buy this book!
Thanks for the photos.

I am in Yueyang Station waiting for the slow strain to Changsha, high-speed railway tickets all sold out, even there are 50+ daily from Yueyang to Changsha.

Something positive about this type of old railway stations is that automatic ticket machines are installed so that I don't have to print my online tickets at the ticket office.

Bus company has to dispatch long-distance coaches to send us back to the HSR station which is 6km from the residence.

2.5 hours waiting in the crazily long queue which is moving disappointingly slow.
