Spring Festival travellers are packing China's trains. The country's railway department has added 112 more trains to handle the crush.

Meanwhile, transport departments are coming up with a variety of services to ensure safe and smooth Spring Festival travel.

The Shanghai Railway Department says 170,000 passengers traveled by train Monday. That is the same as last year's record high day. This year they expect passengers to exceed 200,000 per day starting on Tuesday.
