As per reports, China is expected to experience a significant increase in traffic volumes during the Qingming Festival holiday from Saturday (04 April) to Monday (06 April).

• The Ministry of Transport estimates that the average daily traffic volume on national highways will reach approximately 61 million vehicles, marking an increase of about three percent compared to the same period last year. The peak traffic volume is anticipated on Saturday (04 April), with an estimated 64.5 million vehicles on the roads.
• Travel during the holiday is expected to be predominantly by private vehicles, with passenger cars accounting for more than 99 percent of total passenger traffic. New energy vehicles are projected to reach around 14 million per day, reflecting a 29 percent year-on-year increase and accounting for approximately 23 percent of total traffic. Travel patterns are expected to focus on short- and medium-distance trips around urban areas.
• High visitor volumes are expected at major scenic locations such as West Lake Scenic Area, Putuoshan Scenic Area, Nanxun Ancient Town, Xinzhou Ancient City, and Luoyang Wangcheng Park. Increased traffic is also anticipated around cemeteries, including Shanghai Songheyuan Cemetery, Foshan Shunde Feie Permanent Cemetery, Nanning Sixialing Cemetery, and Wuhan Yusunshan Cemetery.
• Congestion is expected on highways in key regions such as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Yangtze River Delta, particularly near city entry and exit points, scenic areas, and major bridges and tunnels.
• In several provinces, including Jiangsu, Sichuan, Anhui, Hunan, and Zhejiang, primary and secondary schools have scheduled spring breaks from Wednesday (01 April) to Friday (03 April), creating an extended six-day holiday period. This is likely to result in an early surge in family travel prior to the official holiday.
