The Spring Festival travel rush, or chunyun, is the world's largest annual human migration, known for its high transportation demand as hundreds of millions of people return home for family reunions for the Chinese New Year. Running until February 22, this year's travel rush is expected to see a record 9 billion passenger trips over 40 days.

As part of its high-quality development strategy, Guangdong province has made significant investments in upgrading its transportation network, improving both travel efficiency and regional connectivity.
