BEIJING, Feb. 24 -- Railway trips in China hit a record high as travelers returned to work after the Spring Festival break, data from the national railway operator showed.
On Saturday, some 13.17 million passenger trips were made by rail, a daily record for the travel rush, up 38.8 percent year on year, according to the China Railway Corporation (CRC).
