The 40-day Spring Festival travel rush started on Jan 13. During this period, hundreds of millions of travelers will journey home, protected by armed police who have been deployed to maintain safety. They are tasked with keeping order in densely populated transportation hubs, preventing stampedes, crime and terrorism.
