People wait in the west square of Beijing West Railway Station to buy train tickets home on January 11, 2009, the first day of China's Spring Festival travel rush. It is estimated that 2.32 billion people will make trips within the country during the 40-day Spring Festival travel period from January 11 to February 19, about 3.5 percent more than the same time last year.
