As the Spring Festival approaches, high-speed bullet trains have been ready for service on storage tracks as inspection and preparation work wrapped up at a maintenance base in Xi'an, northwest China's Shaanxi Province. A total of 174 high-speed trains will be put into service in Xi'an during the Spring Festival travel rush.
Hundreds of technicians were on duty at night to inspect Fuxing bullet trains at a maintenance center in Guangzhou, south China's Guangdong Province.
The Spring Festival travel rush, known as "chunyun," will last from Jan. 26 to March 5 in China. Many Chinese people will travel to reunite with their families for the Chinese New Year, which falls on Feb. 10 this year.
