Unfortunately, the current Beijing-Shanghai HSR has been already in full use.Why chineses are so crazy for online ticket booking and why i can not get three tickets for my family from JIANGSU to Anhui???

The only choice for you, if you insist on railway, is to take the slow green trains......
A second and third Beijing-Shanghai HSR are needed indeed.

Staff members of Jinan West Railway Station pose for photos at a bullet train on Jan. 31, 2018. About 2.98 billion trips are expected to be made during the 2018 Spring Festival travel rush, known as the Chunyun, between February 1 and March 12, Lian Weiliang, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) told a press conference.

BEIJING, Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- China will take multiple measures to ensure a smooth Spring Festival travel rush, according to an official with China's top economic planner Wednesday.
About 2.98 billion trips are expected to be made during the 2018 Spring Festival travel rush, known as the Chunyun, between February 1 and March 12, Lian Weiliang, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) told a press conference.
The figure is basically the same as that of last year, he said.
The number of road trips is projected to reach 2.48 billion, a 1.6-percent decrease from last year, while train trips are likely to top 390 million, up 8.8 percent year on year, the NDRC said in an earlier statement.
Air travel will likely top 65 million trips, surging 10 percent from last year, while boat trips are predicted to reach 46 million during the period.
Transportation authorities are prepared for the travel rush, when hundreds of millions of Chinese return to their hometowns or travel around the country, putting huge pressure on the transportation system, according to Lian.
"Around 3 billion trips during the 40 days will be a big test for the country's transportation departments," said Liu Xiaoming, an official with the Ministry of Transportation.
To enhance the railway transportation capability, an additional 1,152 and 1,330 train services will be scheduled before and after the festival respectively, on the basis of 3,819 operating trains every day, according to Li Wenxin with China Railway Corporation.
An additional 177 high-speed train services will be scheduled to operate each night, which will be able to carry 100,000 more passengers each day, he said.
China's railway network hit 127,000 km in length at the end of 2017, including 25,000 km of high-speed railway. Last year, 3,038 km of new rail tracks were put into production, which Li said would further reduce pressure on transportation.
At the same time, the aviation authority plans to schedule additional 30,000 flights during the travel rush on the basis of about 14,500 flights every day, said Wang Zhiqing, deputy head of the Civil Aviation Administration.
Liu also encouraged other means of transportation including ride-sharing to meet surging travel demand.
The Spring Festival, or Chinese Lunar New Year, falls on Feb. 16 this year.

High-speed rail helps remote, poor areas strike it rich
(People's Daily Online) 17:01, February 05, 2018
China’s high-speed railways are helping more remote and poor areas to strike it rich by offering opportunities for area resources to go into the national market, the Xinhua-run Economic Information Daily reported on Feb. 5.
Wufu Mountain, located in Shangrao County, east China’s Jiangxi Province, boasts honey and beautiful natural scenery. However, due to poor transportation, the region has been experiencing slow economic development.
Thanks to the Hefei-Fujian high-speed railway which started to run from June 2015, people of the region are gradually becoming rich.
He Jinwen, owner of an agritourism business, noted that more and more tourists are taking the high-speed trains to the region, bringing him an income of 200,000 yuan ($31,749) a year.
The Jiujiang-Jingdezhen-Quzhou railway line, which opened in late 2017 in Jiangxi Province, connects many famous mountains, lakes, cities, and villages.
Li Yang, a ceramic enthusiast, said that it used to take about 10 hours for him to get to Jingdezhen, known as the “Porcelain Capital of the World.” Now it only takes two and a half hours.
Owing to convenience of the high-speed rail, Wuyuan County has received 21 million tourists in 2017, up 20 percent on year-on-year basis.
In addition, the Lanzhou-Xinjiang high-speed railway not only boosts the economy of cities along the rail, but also helps poverty-stricken areas in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region become rich. More and more agricultural products and fruits from the remote areas are being sold across the nation through the railway.
The opening of the railway also injected new vigor into tourism of the region.
Statistics show that Xinjiang accepted 107 million tourists last year, a year-on-year increase of 32.4 percent, creating a tourist income of 182.2 billion yuan.
