National Day travelers ready for rush

With the weeklong National Day holiday just around the corner, massive domestic migration will soon begin, causing heavy traffic jams, packed trains and long lines at airports.

Travel records are expected to be broken again this vacation period as increasingly prosperous, holiday-happy Chinese travelers pack tourism sites at home and abroad.

More than 660 million trips will be made by road and water during the upcoming holiday, a slight increase over the same period last year, Xu Chengguang, spokesman of the Ministry of Transport, said Wednesday. Xu's agency regulates those methods of travel.
