On February 1st, the fourth day of the first lunar month, halfway through the Spring Festival holiday, many people have started preparing to return to work. Chen Xiaoguang, a furniture designer in Foshan, Guangdong, is wiping his motorcycle. This' old buddy 'who has accompanied me for many years will take him back to Foshan tomorrow. I received a large order before the Chinese New Year and thought that I would come back early to complete it after reuniting with my family during the holiday Chen Xiaoguang said. Why choose to ride a motorcycle for the return trip? Chen Xiaoguang said that the road network construction in his hometown's rural areas has greatly improved. Compared to methods such as trains and buses that require several transfers and longer transit times, riding a motorcycle is more cost-effective and still a good choice for him. In Dezhou, Shandong, thousands of miles away, Yue Xiupeng, a citizen, walked into the supermarket with his family and bought Dezhou braised chicken, Roast squab, etc. These are the specialties he will bring to his colleagues in Jinan and Binzhou. At this time in previous years, I was already on my way back to work, afraid of encountering traffic jams on the highway. This year, the northern section of the second ring road of Jinan Ring Expressway has been opened, and I have spent more time in my hometown Yue Xiupeng said. The Jinan Ring Expressway Second Ring Road North Ring Section project, which will be completed in 2024, further shortens the travel time between Dezhou, Binzhou, and Jinan, allowing many people like Yue Xiupeng to have more time to reunite at home. In addition, in response to the problem of highway congestion, Shandong Expressway Group relies on its independently developed road network management intelligent brain, applying AI monitoring video, Beidou system and other technologies to intelligently monitor and analyze the operation status of the road network. It can also publish abnormal situations such as toll station closure and road section control to platforms such as App and WeChat Mini Program with one click, timely notifying drivers and passengers, and providing corresponding solutions to avoid congested roads, effectively saving time. During the Spring Festival travel rush, some people embark on their journey back, while others continue their own journey. At 6am, Mr. Zhou's family arrived at Beijing Daxing Airport, preparing to take a flight from China Southern Airlines to Xishuangbanna. After spending the New Year at home and having a few days off, I happened to go to Yunnan with my family to play. There is a direct flight to Xishuangbanna this year, which can arrive in just over 3 hours. The child is looking forward to it very much Mr. Zhou said. Han Jian, the manager of the Operations Command Department of China Southern Airlines Beijing Branch, introduced that the demand for ice and snow tours and winter retreats has surged during this year's Spring Festival holiday. China Southern Airlines has newly opened routes from Beijing Daxing to Xishuangbanna, Jiamusi, Qiqihar, and increased the frequency of flights to Altay, Changde, Guilin and other routes. The relevant person in charge of Daxing Airport introduced that on February 1st, Daxing Airport plans to operate 961 flights, and the expected number of inbound and outbound passengers will exceed 159300. The airport will closely monitor check-in, security checks, boarding, and transit processes, allocate more staff and volunteers to provide passenger service support, and strengthen warnings and handling of special weather conditions such as rain, snow, and low visibility to ensure smooth travel for passengers. Domestic travel is smoother, and international travel is more convenient. At 7:35 on the 1st, the announcement sounded in the waiting hall of Kunming South Station: "Attention passengers, your D87 train is about to begin ticket checking." In front of the ticket checkpoint, tourists heading to Laos lined up in an orderly manner. Previously, traveling from Kunming to Vientiane could only be done by taking a bus, bumpy for a day and a night. Now with the availability of high-speed trains, not only has the travel time been reduced to just over 9 hours, but the journey has also been smooth and comfortable 68 year old tourist Wang Limin said. "Entering the Spring Festival holiday, the China Laos railway ushers in a peak passenger flow, and cross-border seats are full every day." Train conductor Ou Tingrong introduced that from January 28th to January 31st, Yunnan Railway sent a total of 972000 passengers, with an average of 243000 passengers per day. Cross border travel between Mohan Station and Hekou North Station was smooth and orderly. Self driving with new energy vehicles has become a popular choice for many people during the Spring Festival. How to alleviate their 'mileage anxiety' during the Spring Festival travel rush? On the 1st, under the guidance of the staff of State Grid Liaoning Chaoyang Power Supply Company, Mr. Liu, who drove back to his hometown Jianping County, Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province from Zhengzhou, Henan Province, scanned the QR code on the charging pile and began to charge his car. In the past, I didn't dare to drive back during the Chinese New Year because I was afraid there wouldn't be a place to charge in my hometown village. This year, a new row of charging stations has been installed at our doorstep, and we are no longer afraid of having nowhere to charge anymore Mr. Liu said. Huang Sheng, Deputy Director of the Marketing Department of State Grid Liaoning Chaoyang Power Supply Company, said that in the past two years, the number of new energy vehicles has significantly increased, and the demand for charging piles has also increased accordingly. Last year, the company built nearly a hundred charging stations to serve Chaoyang City. During this year's Spring Festival travel rush, dedicated personnel were also arranged to be on duty at stations with high traffic flow. At the same time, equipment inspection and monitoring were strengthened at important charging stations such as highways, scenic spots, and towns to ensure the normal operation of charging stations. On the long journey of Spring Festival travel rush, more people are silently guarding it. Affected by strong cold air, Bayannur City in Inner Mongolia has experienced widespread snowfall. The city's highway maintenance center immediately organized personnel and machinery to carry out snow removal and traffic maintenance operations based on the thickness of snow and road conditions. The focus is on spreading snow melting agents and anti slip materials on shaded, steep slopes, sharp turns, bridge decks and other road sections to ensure the removal of snow, accumulated water and ice on the road surface in the shortest possible time; The transportation department of Chizhou City, Anhui Province has taken measures such as prioritizing the anchoring, berthing, and unloading of key ships to ensure the smooth transportation of energy materials such as coal, diesel, and gasoline, as well as bulk goods. They have also taken measures to prevent severe weather conditions such as cold waves, strong winds, freezing rain and snow, and heavy fog. The holiday is still ongoing, and the stories of the Spring Festival travel rush and its journey are still ongoing. (New Society)
