Chinese authorities estimate that residents will make 2.1 billion trips over the Chinese New Year.
For many Chinese, it is the first time they are allowed to travel home in nearly three years, when they lived under severe corona restrictions.
SVT's China correspondent Tilde Lewin has accompanied Song Yanhong when he goes home to his family.
- It's been almost three years since I was home last.
I'm looking forward to seeing mom and dad, she says.
