BEIJING, Feb. 20 (Xinhua) -- China's railways handled 7.13 million passengers Saturday, setting a new one day record, the Ministry of Railways (MOR) said Sunday.
The figure was 16 percent higher year on year, the MOR said.
Chinese railways are witnessing a new wave of travel after the Lantern Festival celebration (the 15th day of the first month in the Lunar New Year) Thursday, which is considered a symbolic ending of the festival season.
China's Spring Festival fell on Feb. 3 this year.
The busy Spring Festival transportation season runs for 40 days and is calculated in two phases: 15 days before the Spring Festival and 25 days after the Spring Festival.
