      China saw a National Day holiday return trip peak on Sunday, with the Ministry of Transport estimating over 282 million cross-regional trips taking place on the sixth day of the country's "Golden Week."

      The National Day holiday, also known as "golden week," is usually one of the peak seasons on China's domestic tourism calendar.

      Holidaymakers across the country headed home by train, car and air on the day, with the estimated volume of total trips 6.5 percent up from the same period last year. Railways in particular are expected to handle 18.73 million passengers, with 1,432 additional trains scheduled.

      The national railway network has been handling over 17 million passengers for six consecutive days since the holiday travel rush started.

      Highways across the country continue to maintain high volumes of traffic, mostly from return trips.

      The nation's capital Beijing saw significant increases of traffic flow entering the city on major highways.

      Meanwhile, the country's civil aviation sector is expected to transport more than 2.34 million passengers on the same day. Airlines within China have handled over 11.4 million passengers in the first five days of the holiday.
