As the National Day holiday enters its fifth day, many people are beginning their return journeys ahead of schedule during the latter half of the break.

Traffic management authorities predict that starting today, a peak in return traffic flow will emerge on routes heading into Beijing, with the afternoon period seeing the most concentrated influx of returning vehicles. Beijing West Railway Station, Beijing South Railway Station, Beijing Railway Station, Beijing North Railway Station, Capital International Airport, and Daxing International Airport are all expected to experience peak passenger volumes as holiday travelers return.

According to dynamic assessments by the Ministry of Transport, 36 sections of national highways are prone to congestion on October 5, mainly concentrated in provinces including Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, and Guangdong. If you plan to travel through these sections, please arrange your travel time and route reasonably.
