(CRI) Latest stats are suggesting a record number of trips have been made during this year's Spring Festival holiday.
Data from the Ministry of Transport suggest passenger trips reached around 400 million between February 7th to the 13th, up 6.7 percent from last year.
Over 47 million trips were made by rail, more than 330 million on road and about 8.5 million by air.
At the same time, tourism revenues are also up during the week-long holiday.
The National Tourism Administration says tourism revenues have increased over 16 percent from last year to top 360-billion yuan.
Estimates suggest the now-concluded holiday also saw a record number of digital red envelopes, or cash gifts, exchanged.
Tencent is reporting its electronic red envelopes were sent and received more than 32 billion times through WeChat during the holiday.
The company says people born after 1990 sent nearly 2.6 billion envelopes, the largest number among the various age groups.
