Dubbed the 'biggest annual human migration on earth', China's yearly Spring Festival travel rush has begun. As always, millions and millions of Chinese people will travel home by road, rail and air, hopefully in time for the New Year's Eve family reunion dinner.
The Spring Festival holiday doesn't officially start until February 7th, but the journey home has begun for many. The first batch of travellers will be mostly students and migrant workers, followed by company or government staff and vacationers.
Transport authorities will again face their biggest challenge yet, as a record number of people will be on the move.
