BEIJING, June 24 (Xinhua) -- China's railways carried nearly 25 million passengers during the three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday, up 7.5 percent year-on-year, statistics from the Ministry1 of Railways showed Sunday.
At least 7 million passengers traveled by rail on June 22, marking the daily high during the holiday, according to the figures.
Most of the passengers were students heading for hometowns or holiday travelers to
scenic2 spots, the ministry said.
To cope with the travel rush, the railway authorities arranged 894 additional trains and stepped up measures to ensure safe transport.
The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Duanwu Festival, is traditionally
celebrated3 on the fifth day of the fifth month on the Chinese lunar calendar.
The festival
commemorates4 the famous ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan. Chinese people prepare and eat zongzi, or leaf-packed
glutinous5 rice dumplings, drink wine and race dragon boats on the day. The festival fell on Saturday this year.
