Sun Yuanbin, a 23-year-old student, will spend around 26 hours traveling to get back to his home town in northeastern Jilin Province.

"After all, Spring Festival is a traditional festival in our country. When people who are working in different places across the country come to train stations and see the trains that will take them back to their home towns, they will be very excited. Although we only get hard-seat tickets to stay overnight on, we still feel very happy."

Xie Jingyi, spokesman for Beijing railway station, says ensuring the safety and smooth operation of passenger trips is now their top concern.

"After the middle of January, we are all focusing on Passenger Services, which includes entering stations, checking tickets, crowd control. When it comes to the safety issue, you can see that we've improved our security process."

Extra security has also been put outside Shanghai Railway Station. Armed police, emergency communications trucks and temporary police units have been stationed outside the main entrance and over 300 military police and volunteers have been pulled in to help during the busy period.
