Like China, Korean Spring Festival is also on Lunar New Year's Eve, so it is important to go home to visit relatives before New Year's Eve. Many Koreans are concentrated in Seoul and nearby satellite cities. Every Spring Festival, the mighty "ethnic migration" begins. It is equivalent to nearly 50% of the country's population flow. According to the estimation of the Ministry of Construction and Transportation, during the period of Spring Festival travel rush, among the more than 48 million people in China, the number of people going out of the city and returning home will reach more than 33 million. During the Spring Festival, flights, railways and long-distance buses in South Korea are hard to get a ticket. You can think about its popularity.

India's Spring Festival tourism fever.
There is a big difference between urban and rural areas in India, and a large number of rural people go to work in cities, which makes the train traffic lines crowded around the major festival "Divali". At this time of year, the train is seriously overloaded, and the roof is full of people eager to go home. At the train station in New Delhi, the capital of India, there will even be a situation where you can't find a car for an hour. According to experienced people, the advertisements of running trains are often wrong, so you can't believe them all. At this time, it will be safer to pay attention to real-time situation broadcasting and invite more staff in railway uniforms to synthesize "information".

German Spring Festival travel rush craze.
Little friends living in Germany know that. In Germany, there is no seat number for train tickets bought directly, only first-class tickets and second-class tickets. You can find your own seat when you get on the bus. There is basically no "one ticket is hard to find" during Christmas in Germany, but the situation of "one ticket is hard to find" still exists. During Christmas, because there are too many passengers on board, if you want to ensure seats, you must reserve seats in advance. So many Germans will book tickets half a month or even a month in advance. Even so, during the "Spring Festival travel rush Peak", there will still be many "standing ticket" passengers on the high-speed rail between countries.
A small connection:
Recently, greta Thunberg, a Swedish environmental protection girl, caused controversy by taking photos of Spring Festival travel rush craze. In a post on her social account, she said that she was on a crowded train and was returning to her hometown of Sweden from Germany, with a photo attached. However, because she was sitting on the floor of the train in the photo, many Thunberg supporters thought that she didn't get a seat and criticized the German Federal Railways, which runs the train. At first, Deutsche Bahn apologized to Sandberg in response and said it would try to improve their service. But soon after, the company clarified that Sandberg was flying first class.
