The China State Railway Group Co (China Railway) has announced the extension of the train tickets presale period to 15 days starting from June 1, compared with the five days allowed in April, to meet travel demand as the overall epidemic situation in the country eases.
The adjustment sends a clear signal of an accelerated nationwide work resumption expected in June, as both Shanghai and Beijing are inching toward a full recovery from the most severe COVID-19 outbreak. Additionally, more stimulus measures have been announced and implemented to support nationwide economic recovery, experts said.
The decision reversed the previous announcement made in April that shortened the presale period of railway tickets to five days from April 7.
