Tibet meets post-festival travel peak

Tibet, southwestern China, meets the post-festival travel peak after the traditional Chinese Spring Festival and Lantern Festival.

In recent days, around 3,000 people entered Tibet from Chengdu, capital city of Sichuan, via railway, highway and airline every day, up 20 percent year on year.

After days of family reunions, businessmen and migrant workers have returned to their posts in succession. Tickets for railway, bus and also airline are in great demand at present in Tibet.

Tickets for trains to Lhasa departed before Mar. 10 have been sold out in the Lhasa Railway Station since Mar. 1.

According to Wukuaishi Transportation Station in Chengdu, passengers going to Lhasa, Xigaze and other regions in Tibet by car are also increasing. A worker of the station said:"We have met a growing passenger flow after the Chinese Spring Festival. Almost every car is full of people every day."

There is a shortage of airline ticket from Chengdu to Lhasa this weak. According to the http://www.ctrip.com, airline companies have added some flights but still unable to meet the great demand. Flights leaving Chengdu to Lhasa are fully occupied.
