Crowds of passengers wait in the departure hall of Hangzhou East Railway Station in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province, on July 13, 2026, as Typhoon Bavi moves away. The station saw a peak in summer travel, driven by a combination of stranded passengers returning home and the seasonal surge in travel. China's national railway network is expected to handle 1.01 billion passenger trips during the 62-day summer travel rush.
