Travel syndrome is a kind of mental illness without organic pathological changes, which is common in long-distance train travelers. Its inducement lies in difficult journey, depression, nervousness and fear for personal safety.

Avoid rush hour.

China is a country with a large population and a large passenger transport. It is not recommended to travel in the peak period of tourism, such as May Day holiday and National Day holiday, because tourist attractions are all people, so they can not only experience the beauty of the scenic spots, but also can not relax.

In order to avoid the occurrence of travel syndrome, it is best to travel together, which can reduce the occurrence of tension and depression, even if there is physical discomfort, there are people who take care of each other.
