On avenues and streets, there are Christmas displays and people celebrate it with Christmas trees, cooking and eating special fooods, and spending time with family and friends.If you want to travel you have to book your tickets as early as possible.Otherwise, you may finally find all tickets are already gone. For people who want to take a train for their traveling plane, you have to know the new real-name system. This system is meant to crack down on rampant ticket scalping that typically booms during the holiday travel rush.
Railways, the most popular transportation in China, are expected to carry ten of million passengers during the holiday peak season, as people travel home for family reunions.
A valid ID card permits the purchase of one ticket per route on any date, but a maximum of five tickets can be purchased if the buyer possesses the valid ID cards of five individuals. Train tickets can be booked online, via phone, or standing in line, which can take hours -- or even days in some cases.
The country's police force is strengthening its crackdown on scalpers, who hoard tickets and resell them at much higher prices.
