The National Day holiday is triggering a travel boom. Data released by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Transport on September 30th indicates that the province expects to see 250 million cross-regional passenger trips, averaging about 36 million per day, an increase of 6.5% compared with the same period in 2025.
On September 30th, the day before the National Day holiday, China Railway Guangzhou Group experienced an initial passenger peak, with an estimated 2.66 million passenger trips. Starting September 30th, passenger traffic is expected to remain at an elevated level. The peak is expected on October 1st, when passenger volume will reach 3.837 million trips, marking a year-on-year increase of 330,000 trips, or a growth of 9.4%.

Stations including Shenzhen North Railway Station, Shenzhen Railway Station, Futian Railway Station and Shenzhen East Railway Station have extended their operating hours. They have also stepped up nighttime cleaning and maintenance, ensured a continuous supply of hot water and actively coordinated with transport authorities to extend the operating hours of subways and buses, ensuring a smooth "last mile" for passengers.
The Guangzhou-Zhanjiang High-speed Railway is continuing its highway-railway intermodal transport promotional campaign, "High-Speed Rail to Bus, Seamless Travel to Western Guangdong." Passengers from six locations—Gaozhou, Xinyi, Huazhou, Lianjiang, Xuwen Port and Leizhou—who choose a combined high-speed rail and bus journey can enjoy a 20% discount (issued as a 20% fare refund) when purchasing tickets for designated bullet trains. Connecting bus tickets booked via the Cheying Network platform also offer discounts, with 20% of the bus ticket price refunded between September 25th and October 7th.
For groups of 10 or more, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport has launched a "Group Concierge" service, providing full-process assistance upon reservation 24 hours in advance.
