File photo taken on Jan. 26, 2008 shows a migrant worker is forced to ride a donkey home for Spring Festival after ice closed roads to his home to Baise County, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. China's transportation system has to undergo a challenge during every Spring Festival holidays, which sees a huge number of people take to the roads for family reunions. To have reunion dinner with their families on Chinese New Year's Eve, those who have worked or studied away from home scramble to leave for their hometowns by all means -- train, coach, airplane, ship, self-driving, motorcycles and even bicycles, making the largest annual human migration in the world. Chinese Lunar New Year, or the Spring Festival, falls on Feb. 10 this year, making the holiday travel period spanning from Jan. 26 to March 6. A record 3.41 billion trips are expected to be made over this year's Lunar New Year travel rush. (Xinhua/Chen Peiliang)
