This year's railway transportation period for the Dragon Boat Festival holiday runs from June 18 to 22, a total of 5 days. During this period, the Yangtze River Delta railway is expected to transport 17.45 million passengers, with an average of 3.49 million passengers per day, an 8% year-on-year increase in passenger flow. The Dragon Boat Festival itself (June 19) is expected to be the peak day for passenger traffic, with an estimated 4.2 million passengers, potentially setting a new single-day passenger record for the Dragon Boat Festival holiday.
This year's Dragon Boat Festival holiday runs from June 19 to 21, a total of 3 days. According to the railway 12306 15-day advance booking rule, tickets for the day before the holiday can be purchased on June 4, tickets for the first day of the holiday on June 5, and return tickets for the last day of the holiday on June 7. Ticket sale start times vary by station; for example, Nanjing Station and Nanjing South Station start sales at 8:15, while Xianlin Station starts at 15:00. Passengers should pay attention to the specific sale start times.
During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday transportation period, Shanghai Railway Group will implement a peak-hour operation schedule. Based on the scheduled 28 pairs of direct peak-hour trains, it plans to add 51 pairs of direct passenger trains from various locations in the Yangtze River Delta to destinations such as Wuhan, Xi'an, Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Nanchang, Qingdao, and Xiamen. Additionally, based on the scheduled 36 pairs of intra-regional peak-hour trains, it plans to add 162.5 pairs of temporary intra-regional passenger trains operating between cities like Shanghai, Hefei, Xuzhou, Hangzhou, Fuyang, Wenzhou, and Ningbo, as well as within multiple locations in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces.
The railway department reminds that holiday passenger flow increases significantly. Passengers who have not yet purchased tickets are advised to plan their itineraries reasonably and travel during off-peak times. As many trains operate dynamically during the holiday, passengers can check station announcements or the railway 12306 website for temporary train schedules. On the day of travel, passengers should leave home appropriately early to allow time for city traffic and station security checks. Many cities have multiple railway stations, so passengers must verify ticket information before departure to avoid going to the wrong station.
