As the traditional Spring Festival falls on Feb 16 this year, many migrant workers are heading home. Fuyang, a city with lots of migrant workers in other cities, arranged special trains to offer workers free homeward trips again.

The city started arranging special trains for free trips last year.

Train K8500, which set off from Ningbo on Wednesday and arrived in Fuyang Thursday morning, was one such train, carrying more than 1,200 passengers. It was decorated with paper-cuttings and lanterns.

Train attendants performed and some children voluntarily sang songs during the happy trip.
