Chengdu East Railway Station

From February 15 to 23, during the nine-day Spring Festival holiday, China Railway Chengdu Group Co., Ltd. transported a total of 13.753 million passengers, averaging 1.5282 million per day, an increase of 1.28 million passengers or 10.3% compared to the same period last year.

During the holiday period, multiple passenger flows—including those for family visits, tourism, returning home, and migrant workers—overlapped significantly. Through traffic was concentrated on routes toward Beijing, Guangzhou, Kunming, and Xi'an. High-demand lines included the Chengdu–Chongqing High-Speed Railway, Zhengzhou–Chongqing High-Speed Railway, Xi'an–Chengdu Passenger Dedicated Line, and Sichuan–Qinghai Railway, exhibiting a pattern of 'internal-external linkage and multi-point convergence'.

Throughout the festival, Chengdu Group operated an average of 2,036 passenger trains daily. On peak travel days (February 22–24), an average of 560 additional temporary trains were added each day, with the single-day high reaching 2,223 trains.

Passenger volumes surged significantly on multiple popular domestic tourist routes and at key stations. The Sichuan–Qinghai Railway saw an average daily passenger volume exceeding 17,000, a 20.5% year-on-year increase; on February 23 alone, it reached 23,000 passengers. Passenger numbers at Sanxingdui Station, Songpan Station, and Shifang West Station rose by 118.5%, 142.5%, and 47% respectively compared to the same period last year. In addition to Huanglong-Jiuzhaigou and Sanxingdui, Yibin, Luzhou, and the Panxi region also emerged as popular destinations. The Panxi region operated a record-high 95 trains in a single day, with an average daily passenger volume of 38,000, up 12.3% year-on-year.

Furthermore, several stations—including Nanzhou Station, Guang'an South Station, and Yuechi Station on the Lanzhou–Chongqing Railway, as well as Luzhou East Station and Yantan Station on the Chengdu–Yibin High-Speed Railway—set new records for single-day passenger departures.

In terms of passenger services, multiple dedicated trains for returning migrant workers were launched from locations such as Dazhou, Kaili, and Zhenxiong. Stations including Chengdu dynamically added security screening and ticket verification channels during peak hours. Guang'an South, Langzhong, Hechuan, and Ya'an stations provided precise ticket-purchasing guidance, waiting-area consultations, and specialized assistance for priority passengers.
