More than 150 million people are expected to be travelling home to be with their families in China to coincide with the start of the
Year of the Golden Pig, a once every sixty years event - children born during the year are believed to have especial luck (and hospitals are said to be gearing up for a baby boom as a result). The annual Chinese New Year migration is apparently the world's biggest human migration, involving
2.17 billion passenger trips on trains, planes and buses.
