This map reveals the most significant human migration on the face of the Earth, and it’s not humans travelling out of Africa or people arriving to the New World.

It’s the Chinese, arriving home to visit their families for the Lunar New Year.

{Known|Understood} as “Chunyun,” the spring movement starts at the beginning of the Lunar New Year month, making sure people have plenty of time to get home, and spend time with their families.

The interactive map was created on China’s website, Baidu, so people can view what their country’s migration looks like on this holiday.

As you can plainly see, or maybe can’t see because it’s so congested (much like China’s public transportation during this time of year), the most significant migrations are coming out of the larger cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, with most people going back to Chongqing.

The Chinese New Year, or Lunar New Year, is the most meaningful holiday of the year for the country, and it’s no wonder that in a territory of 1.6 billion people, we can see something as exciting as this.
