X-ray luggage screening gives a glimpse into what people take home for Spring Festival

As luggage passes through the X-ray screening machine at Jinan Railway Station in east China's Shandong province, we get a unique glimpse into the lives of passengers. Most of the college students and many migrant workers in China have already started their journey home for the Spring Festival or Chinese Lunar New Year, which falls on February 16 this year. The 2018 Spring Festival travel rush, known as the Chunyun, will last from February 1 to March 12. About 2.98 billion trips are expected to be made during the holiday period. [Photo: VCG]
