Chinese New Year will fall on February 7 this year. According to GlobalPost, the number of Chinese trying to get home will only continue to rise until this weekend. Travel will then likely peter off, only to spike again from February 11 to 13 as Chinese attempt to return to the cities for work.  GlobalPost, citing the Chinese government, is predicting that there will be a total of 2.91 billion journeys made in China until the spring travel rush ends on March 3. Already, hundreds of thousands of Chinese are already trying to return to their home towns. Their journeys have largely been delayed due to bad weather throughout the country, adding delays to an already gigantic miss migration.  SEE ALSO: Beijing's new 'anti-terror' checks on the subway create lines like nothing you've ever seen In Guangzhou, an estimated 100,000 people were forced to wait outside the train station.
