Chinanews customer, Beijing, January 12 (Lang Lang) Starting on the 12th, train tickets for the 29th lunar month (February 10) will be officially launched. According to previous years, now is the peak of the Spring Festival travel ticket purchase period. However, due to the impact of the epidemic and the “no need to go home” initiative in many places, the intensity of buying tickets for this year’s Spring Festival appears to have decreased. During the peak travel period before the holidays, many popular routes still have more tickets.

　　Tickets for the 29th lunar month are officially on sale

Rail transportation for the 2021 Spring Festival will begin on January 28 and end on March 8, for a total of 40 days. According to the “Spring Festival Travel Ticket Purchase Calendar” issued by the train department, train tickets for February 10 (the 29th of the twelfth lunar month) can be purchased on January 12, and tickets for February 11 (New Year’s Eve) they can be purchased on January 13.

According to the ticket sales in previous years, during this period, the pre-Spring Festival ticket fever has entered the “hot stage”.

The fifth and sixth days of the first lunar month, that is, February 16 and February 17, 2021, are the peak return trips. Passengers must purchase train tickets for these two days on January 18 and January 19, 2021.

According to official Weibo data of China National Railway Group Co., Ltd., from the launch of the Spring Festival transport tickets in 2021, until January 5, a total of 4.916 million train tickets have been sold, of which online reservations accounted for 96.3% of total ticket sales.

　　Tickets for the Spring Festival transport are not as strong as in previous years, there are still more tickets

In previous years, train tickets for the three days leading up to New Year’s Eve were especially scarce. In particular, roundtrip tickets for popular routes were always “on sale in seconds” and it was difficult to find a ticket. Even if there are a few tickets left, the arrival time is late at night or early in the morning.

However, this year, affected by the epidemic, many places have advocated not to return to the non-essential city of origin and have vacationed there to reduce the flow of people as much as possible. At the same time, many places have also made it clear that those who return home during the Spring Festival break must have a negative nucleic acid test certificate. On the internet, netizens are also discussing whether to return to their hometown for the New Year this year. Many people still maintain a wait-and-see attitude for Spring Festival transportation tickets.

In a special context, obtaining this year’s Spring Festival travel tickets was not as intense as in previous years. Chinanews.com checked website 12306 on January 11 and found that at 17:00 on January 11, there were many hot spots on February 9 (the 28th of the 12th lunar month). There are still tickets for routes and trains.

On the same day, many commercial high-speed train seats, first-class seats and second-class seats from Beijing to Zhengzhou still have tickets remaining; T-head and K-head trains from Beijing to Changsha have tickets remaining; various trains from Beijing to Xi’an, Tickets are still available to book many times, but only one train ticket from Beijing to Chongqing has been sold out, and tickets for other trains are more abundant.
