A record 2.3 billion passenger trips will be taken in China during the upcoming Lunar New Year period, the country% most important holiday, Chinese media said on Thursday.

A record 188 million people will take to the nation's railway system, 2 billion road trips will be taken and 24 million will take holiday-related flights in January and February, the China Daily said, in what is the world's biggest annual migration.

The yearly migration is marked by chaotic scenes as masses of Chinese desperate to return home overcrowded the nation's transport system, AFP said.

The official Chinese New Year holiday for 2009 falls on January 26, earlier than most years .

However, the travel rush usually begins up to two weeks before that, and will last 40 days beginning from Jan 11 to Feb 19.

Earlier this year, the chaos was dramatically mixed with unusually serious winter ice storms that spread suffering across a huge land of the country just as the migration was getting under way.

Citing（引述） the government's main economic planning agency, the China Daily said 2009 could see more chaos as this Chinese New Year follows closely after the Western New Year on January 1. Many college students and other people typically travel just before or after the Western New Year and the upcoming holidays could see both migrations overcrowding the transport system at the same time, it said.

People's Daily Online launched an online survey titled "What problem are you most concerned about for the upcoming 2009 Spring Festival railway transport peak season?" on December 9. By 8:00 pm that day, a total of 17,496 netizens had participated in the survey, and. 14,403 of them chose "buying train tickets is difficult, it is almost impossible to get one," accounting for 82.3% of the total number of participants.

The National Development and Reform Commission also warned local governments to take steps to cope with the expected crush, particularly in coastal manufacturing regions.

According to the China Daily, the weather forecast during the Spring Festival is that most of the country will experience normal temperatures for that time of year, but heavy snows were expected in some regions.

    Nervous uncertainty surrounds the fate (命运) of US journalist Daniel Pearl, with no clear communication from his kidnappers (绑匪) and no sign of his whereabouts after three separate police searches for his body in the troublesome port city Karachi, Pakistan.

    Pearl, a 38-year-old Wall Street Journal reporter, disappeared two weeks ago on his way to an interview in Karachi. An e-mail allegedly from his kidnappers contained four photos of him and a variety of demands, including one for the release of Pakistani prisoners being held at the US naval base in Cuba.

    Pearl’s French wife, Marianne, is six months pregnant with their first child.

    For the past few weeks the couple have been living in Karachi while Pearl tried to arrange an interview with Mubarak Ali Shah Gilani, head of the small militant Islamic group Tanzeem ul-Fuqra.
