Rush for ticket back home
Just a couple of pictures I took from the internet to show the mass of people who swarm the ticket offices to buy their train tickets to go back home in time for the Spring festival. These 2 pictures are of the Beijing West railway station. There’s no way the Chinese are going to queue up, and I am sure many scuffles broke out. It’s a highly stressing time and it’s who speaks louder and can push to get further in front that may be able to buy his precious tickets. And of course, many pickpockets are having a profitable time. I am so glad I don’t have to take the train during this period.
