Camel plugs appeared in the Chinese singing dunes (3 photos + 2 videos)

There is so much you can see in China, even traffic jams in the desert...





During national holidays, China is very crowded. The Chinese themselves love to travel, and foreign tourists are not inferior to them in this. There really is something to see in the country. Thus, one of the most attractive tourist locations is the city of Dunhuang, located in the northwest of Gansu province.



But a few kilometers away are the “Singing Dunes” in the Kumtag Desert. This is an incredibly interesting natural phenomenon. Due to frequent winds, the sand constantly moves along the dunes and the illusion arises that unusual music is playing. This place can only be reached by camels.

More than 2,400 camels that travel back and forth through the scenic area every day completely disrupt traffic in the scenic area.

And since the flow of tourists is very large, it has been customary to install camel traffic lights at the intersections of hiking trails and camel crossings in the scenic area to guide the flow of people, vehicles and camel teams for an orderly crossing.



This is what caused huge traffic jams. Since these are the only camel traffic lights in the world, tourists consider it their duty to take pictures with them. Thereby further aggravating the situation in the traffic jam.

So if you are tired of being stuck in a traffic jam in the city, remember that somewhere far away in China there are also sad camels standing and mentally scolding tourists.
