Spring Festival travel rush comes to last day (9)

（Xinhua）  19:11, March 06, 2013  

Passengers have their tickets checked at the railway station in Harbin, capital of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, March 6, 2013. The 40-day Spring Festival travel rush, started on Jan. 26 this year, came to the last day on Wednesday. The Spring Festival, which falls on Feb. 10 this year, is traditionally the most important holiday of the Chinese people. It is a custom for families to reunite in the holiday, a factor that has led to massive seasonal travel rushes in recent years as more Chinese leave their hometowns to seek work elsewhere.
