Imagine strolling through the desert oasis of Dunhuang in China's Gansu Province and spotting camels patiently waiting at a red light! 🐫🚦 Sounds unreal, right? But that's exactly what's happening at the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Area.
With Dunhuang buzzing during the peak tourist season, the number of visitors is off the charts. To keep the peace between the hordes of tourists and the iconic camel caravans, the scenic area got creative. They've installed special traffic lights just for camels! When the red light shines, the camels line up and wait their turn, letting pedestrians and shuttle buses zoom by. But when it flashes green, it's time for the camels to strut their stuff, and everyone else steps aside.
This quirky solution not only eases traffic jams but also adds a dash of fun to the adventure. It's not every day you see camels following traffic rules better than some drivers! 😂 So, if you're planning a trip to Dunhuang, get ready for some Instagram-worthy moments that blend ancient Silk Road vibes with modern-day twists.
