Spring Festival train tickets sales start

Xinhua, January 10, 2011

People line up to buy train tickets at Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center in Ningbo City, east China's Zhejiang Province on Jan. 9, 2011. A temporary train ticket office was launched here Sunday to divert buying crowds from heavily-jammed railway stations. Every year, millions of Chinese people travel back home for family reunion during the Spring Festival travel season, which brings about inter-provincial passenger traffic pressure in the vast country.
