BEIJING, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- China's Spring Festival travel rush, known as the Chunyun, began Thursday.


Qian Leiming boarded the K4668 train from northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to Shanghai, a 4,129-km journey that will take almost three days.


"I do dried fruit business in Hotan Prefecture, and I go home every year to celebrate Lunar New year," Qian said. "Tickets to Shanghai are extremely difficult to get, but this year I got my ticket in advance online."


Spring Festival, or Chinese Lunar New Year, falls on Feb. 16 this year. Hundreds of millions of Chinese will return to their hometown for family gatherings or travel around the country, putting huge pressure on the transport system.


About 2.98 billion trips are expected to be made during the 2018 Spring Festival travel rush between Feb. 1 and March 12, basically the same figure as last year, according to China's top economic planner.


To enhance railway transport capability, an additional 1,152 and 1,330 train services will be scheduled before and after the festival, respectively, on the basis of 3,819 operating trains every day, according to Li Wenxin with China Railway Corporation.


An additional 177 high-speed train services will be scheduled to operate each night, which will be able to carry 100,000 more passengers each day, he said.


Aviation authorities plan to schedule an additional 30,000 flights during the travel rush on the basis of about 14,500 flights every day, said Wang Zhiqing, deputy head of the Civil Aviation Administration.


HIGH-SPEED TRAINS, MOTORCYCLES


In southwest China's Guizhou Province, many passengers are going home the high-speed way.


Wen Hua, 53, is a migrant worker from Guizhou's Tongzi County. Wen works at a construction site in the eastern seaboard of Fujian Province, more than 1,600 km away from home. Each year, going home would take almost 27 hours. But now, high-speed trains make his journey much easier.


"Now I can transfer via the high-speed trains in Guiyang, which greatly slashes my time to reach home," he said.


In the southern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, many migrant workers choose to go home by motorcycle.


Zhang Youjin, 38, is from Guangxi's Hezhou City. Zhang and his wife work in Guangdong Province with their child. On Thursday morning, they packed a bottle of hot water, four bottles of congee and other life necessities in two colorful bulging plastic bags, and hopped on a motorcycle to head home.


"It's freezing outside, but the journey is much cheaper," Zhang said.


It's the fifth year that Zhang rode his motorcycle home. The journey is about 400 km, and the family can reach home within a day.


According to official figures, each year more than 100,000 people ride motorcycles from Guangdong to Guangxi. To cater to the motley motorcyclists, local authorities have set up areas to provide free food to the army of people.


BUSY CALLS


The Chunyun rush generates huge pressure on the transport system.


Huang Fang is a telephone operator for the 12306 train ticket booking hotline in Shanghai.


"I have taken 154 calls so far today," Huang said. "I usually take about 250 calls a day, but during Chunyun the number can exceed 300."


"Requests from incoming calls vary a lot, from ticket booking to telling elderly people how to book tickets online, even to a husband looking for his wife," Huang said.


"My lips get dry every day I go home, so I always carry lip balm and medicine for soothing the throat," she said.


During Chunyun, all 162 telephone operators of the 12306 call center are on duty, said Dong Weixin, director of the center in Shanghai.


"It's a busy job," Huang said. "But I am glad to help people get home." Enditem

This photo taken on January 27, 2018 shows a group of foreigners outside a courtroom in Siem Reap province, some who were reportedly arrested on January 25 for allegedly "singing and dancing pornographically".

Cambodia has charged 10 foreigners arrested for “singing and dancing pornographically”, officials said Sunday, as the kingdom cracks down on racy behaviour at popular tourist sites.


The group appeared in court three days after police arrested them Thursday at a villa in Siem Reap, the town connected to Cambodia’s famed ancient ruins of Angkor Wat.


Samrith Sokhon, a prosecutor at the court in Siem Reap, said the 10 suspects were being charged with producing “pornographic pictures and materials”, which can carry a maximum one-year sentence.


He said five of the 10 defendants are British nationals, but did not provide additional details.


Cambodia’s national police said on its website over the weekend that the other defendants included two Canadians and one New Zealander.


All were accused of “singing and dancing pornographically”, the police said in the post, which showed photos of pairs simulating various sexual positions at a party.


Several people in the original images, however, do not appear in the group shot of the 10 defendants later posted by the police, and authorities did not say who had taken the suggestive photos or when.


Some of those arrested were expats and others were tourists who had been in the country for several months, said Duong Thavry, chief of the Anti-Human Trafficking and Juvenile Protection Department in Siem Reap.


“We cracked down on them because they committed activities that are against our culture,”
