This chapter explores the reasons behind the increase in car travel during the Spring Festival rush in China, including the convenience and comfort of driving one's own car and the smaller distances of mobility within provinces due to economic development and urbanization. It also discusses the trends of carpooling, the rise in car ownership of new energy vehicles, and the challenges of accessing charging stations.
Spanning from January 26 to March 5, this 40-day period is not just a test of China's transportation network, but a vibrant celebration of homecoming and familial bonds. Join us as we explore the complexities, emotions, and sheer scale of the world's largest annual human migration. On the show: Niu Honglin, Laiming & Li Yi
