Beijing: China became victim to an endless traffic jam on Wednesday, the last day of Chinese National Day celebration.
Known as the 'Golden Week', the Chinese National Day celebration witnesses an explosion in tourism every year. It's one of the few opportunities for people to get time off work and enjoy a long-distance holiday.
Shocking videos and pictures captured by a drone showed the horrendous congestion on a motorway leading to the Chinese capital when holidaymakers made their return journey near the end of National Day celebration.
The incredible gridlock, which took place on one of the country's busiest and widest highways, was caused by a new checkpoint, reported the Daily Mail.
The jam began at around 2pm just outside the capital city on the G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway, which has 50 around lanes.
