A child looks out of a train window as her mother smiles
aside at the Beijing West Railway Station in Beijing, January 19, 2007. China's
'Chun Yun', which means travelling during traditional Chinese
Spring Festival, kicked off half a month ahead of the official time between
February 3 and March 14, which the Railway Ministry predicted
would saw a passenger flow of 156 million. The annual train
fare hike during the holiday season was scrapped begining this year.
