The Spring Festival travel rush remains an amazing phenomenon, even after six years in China. Every year in Beijing, it's like someone opens a door and airports, trains and buses are jam-packed and it seems that half the city's population disappears. One of the biggest changes I've noticed is that in years past, it was almost impossible to get a taxi, as many of the drivers went home for the holiday. Now, with Didi and other ride-sharing services, getting a ride is much easier as there are more options.
