People prepare to depart at the Hefei Railway Station in Hefei, capital of east China's Anhui Province, Jan. 31, 2016. The 40-day travel rush during the 2016 Spring Festival holidays came to an end on Thursday. More than 300 million people in China have travelled by train during the Spring Festival travel rush, which not only signifies Chinese people's yearning for family reunion, and also reflects China's economic development and social progress in recent decades.
