The passengers were mainly those returning from holiday and migrant workers seeking employment in Guangdong, Huang said.
"Half of the 600,000 passengers are transported by the 138 trains added during the Spring Festival vacation," Huang said.
To accommodate the massive passenger numbers, Guangzhou Railway Group had opened more exits at railway stations inside Guangdong, an economic powerhouse,said Huang.
The second peak of inbound passengers was expected to occur between March 1 and 3, with students returning for study and more migrant workers flowing in.
