China expects to see around 250 million
domestic trips during the upcoming Labor Day holiday, with bookings of
air tickets, admission tickets and hotel rooms significantly surpassing
that of the same period in 2019. As
the number of cars registered across the country reached 229 million by
the end of March, traffic authorities are bracing for a foreseeable
surge in medium- and long-distance self-drive trips during the holiday
from May 1 to 5. The Ministry of
Public Security Monday warned against road traffic safety risks,
especially in popular tourist destinations and around major scenic
areas. There will be rising traffic
volumes on major road networks, and congestion on expressways is
estimated to increase by 10 percent from the same period last year. The
ministry advised drivers to pay attention to traffic information and
safety warnings and avoid dangerous driving such as fatigued driving,
drunk driving and driving without a license.
