The Spring Festival has changed a lot, and the four major innovation highlights are unprecedented!
Explore the wonders of the 2024 Spring Festival] The Spring Festival holiday has come to an end, leaving four shocking data and refreshing the historical chapter of the Spring Festival! With the influx of **, the story of the Spring Festival in 2024 is unprecedented.
Big data revealed that this national migration recorded four astonishing turns: the number of people broke the record, crossing 9 billion people in 40 days, which is equivalent to an average of more than 6 moves per person!
Compared with the peak before the epidemic, the traffic surge in 2024 is two and a half times that of the past, no wonder train tickets are more precious than **, high-speed rail delays have become the norm, and highways seem to be blocked by crowds, testing patience and perseverance.
It was an unprecedented feast of population movements, and history was rewritten!
Riding the Trend of the Mobility Revolution: According to statistics, a staggering proportion of 9 billion people travel by car – up to 7.2 billion! This symbolizes that more than eighty percent of people choose to drive home during the Spring Festival, and this change is not accidental.
It reveals the profound pulse of China's economic transformation and is a vivid embodiment of emerging consumer power. In 2023, the number of vehicles in China will exceed 43.5 billion, the world's largest for three consecutive years, 94 cities with more than one million vehicles, cars have changed from luxury goods to household necessities as popular as TVs and refrigerators.
With a total length of 5.35 million kilometers, the largest in the world, the number of rural roads connecting rural areas has been extended to 2.7 million kilometers, benefiting more than 1,100 towns and more than 100,000 villages.
Therefore, when the Spring Festival Road is full of traffic, it is not only a spectacular scene of traffic, but also a witness to the prosperity of the country and the leap in the quality of life.
Although the major transportation hubs are bustling during the Spring Festival in 2024, especially the train stations, the bus stations seem to be deserted. Take Hangzhou as an example, although its five major bus stations only transport passengers in 40 days70,000 passengers, compared with the 10.11 million passengers transported by the railway Spring Festival, is a world of difference, and the passenger flow of the bus station accounts for only an insignificant 2% of the railway.
Behind this phenomenon, the significant impact of rapid infrastructure development, especially the rapid expansion of railways, has not only made the transportation network extremely convenient, but also brought about a significant improvement in the efficiency of time use.
The comfort of bullet trains and trains is far greater than that of buses at bus stations, so when people have better choices, they will naturally tend to choose bullet trains or trains as their primary mode of travel.
The Spring Festival tourism boom is unprecedentedly high: the 8-day ** week will push "travel" to the focus of the Spring Festival, and the traditional "homecoming" trend has cooled down slightly. The Spring Festival is no longer just a way home, but a grand feast for families to gather, explore the world and experience diverse cultures.
According to Fliggy, domestic bookings surpassed the peak of 2019, while outbound bookings grew by a staggering 150%. This year, many people chose to do the opposite, taking family and friends to their hometowns, giving birth to a new hit of "family travel".
Qunar.com report shows that the number of ticket bookings for scenic spots in Taizhou, Foshan, Shangrao and other places has skyrocketed, with a year-on-year increase of more than two times, especially in Hainan, where the passenger flow has surged by more than 30%, and it is even difficult to find a ticket for Sanya on the return trip, the economy class is sold out, and the business class has also become tight, and the ticket price has soared.
It can be seen that today's Spring Festival has gone beyond the basic meaning of population movement, symbolizing the accelerated development of our society, the burst of economic vitality and the prosperity of cultural diversity.
