CCTV News: The Qingming Festival holiday is coming soon, and going out for a walk and enjoying flowers has become the choice for many people. Judging from the train ticket booking on many domestic online travel platforms, on the eve of Qingming Festival, the popularity of travel around first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Chengdu has increased significantly. At the same time, taking a plane out of the country for spring viewing has also become the choice of many people.
