CHINA-TRANSPORT-LUNAR
Caption: This picture taken on January 28, 2013 shows people sleeping on their seats on the train from Guangzhou to Changchun to go back home for the Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival. Passengers will log 220 million train rides during the 40-day travel season as they criss-cross the country to celebrate with their families, but just as making the trip home can be laborious -- often lasting one or two days -- so can simply acquiring a seat on the train, and every year complaints arise about the inefficiency or unfairness of the system, although an initiative allowing travelers to purchase tickets online aims to curb long queuing times.
