CCTV News: April 4 is the first day of the Qingming Festival holiday, and travel sentiment across the country is rising, and railways, highways and civil aviation have ushered in a peak passenger flow.

In terms of railways, the national railway is expected to send 19.85 million passengers on the 4th, and 1,009 trains are planned to be added. In order to meet the needs of tourists for short-distance trips during the Qingming Festival holiday, the railway department has arranged and launched unique tourist trains among popular tourist cities, and has collaborated with scenic spots and hotels to create a new consumption scenario.

During the Qingming Festival, tens of millions of apricot flowers in Turpan, Xinjiang were blooming, and 21 EMU trains were added between Urumqi and Tuha Station. Beijing's "train to spring" has been renovated in its paintings. The "Great Wall" EMU passing through the S2 line in the suburbs of Beijing is complemented by the Great Wall, mountains and sea of ​​flowers along the route, which is beautiful. It is more convenient for tourists to visit scenic spots such as Yanqi Lake, Hongluo Temple, Qinglong Gorge, Yunmeng Mountain, and Gubei Water Town. The two-decker ethnic cultural tourism trains launched between Kunming, Dali and Lijiang in Yunnan have achieved seamless connection between "night lying and morning tour".

In terms of highways, it is estimated that on the 4th, the national highway traffic will reach about 62 million vehicles, about 1.8 times the weekly traffic. It is expected that the flow of new energy vehicles will account for about 18% of the daily average traffic, a significant increase from the same period last year. In order to better meet the charging needs of new energy vehicles, the transportation and power supply departments have increased the deployment of personnel and equipment.

To ensure travel, localities have also invested in new technologies to ensure road travel. In Chengdu, Sichuan, not only are small drones combined with artificial intelligence inspection and analysis of road conditions, but also equipped with four-axis, eight-rotor large-load drones. In case of traffic accidents, emergency lighting, temporary communications, first aid materials and other emergency equipment can be installed immediately to quickly go to the accident site to assist in emergency rescue operations.
