China Railway Carried 302 Million Passengers Over Mid-Autumn and National Day Holiday

China Railway Group said the 16-day Mid-Autumn and National Day holiday transport period, running Sept. 23 to Oct. 8, ended with 302 million passenger trips nationwide, up 24.6% year-on-year. State railway freight volume reached 192 million tonnes over the same period, up 5% year-on-year.

The headline number is passenger travel, but the freight figure is the more telling signal: rail cargo growth of 5% suggests industrial and logistics demand held up through the holiday window, even as the passenger surge reflects a purely seasonal consumption story. For RWA and tokenization watchers, the relevant read is that China's state rail network continues to generate large, steady, measurable flows of the kind that make infrastructure assets attractive for on-chain financing — though the item gives no detail on pricing, margins or any tokenization activity. Whether freight growth persists after the holiday period is the open question.
