Beautiful Hainan island. Haikou is the capital but sanya is more than beautiful, I lived there for over four years. Tourism is the key to their success.

Mind-blowing pictures show thousands of vehicles stuck in an epic 10km traffic jam in China as holiday-goers try to return home

More than 10,000 cars and over 100,000 travellers were stuck in a massive traffic jam in China last week as they waited to get on ferryboats to leave popular tropical island Hainan.

According to Chinese news site Sina, the huge queues stretched for around 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) at one point. The congestion was caused by heavy fog over the Qiongzhou Strait in Haikou.

The incredible gridlock took place at the end of China's seven-day national holiday to celebrate Lunar New Year.

As a tropical destination, Hainan Island was hugely popular among tourists who were looking for sunshine. 

In the space of seven days, around five million people swarmed to the island which is roughly the size of Belgium.

But when they were trying to return home, they found themselves trapped on the island due to foggy weather as boats could only operate periodically. 

Huge queues of vehicles were spotted outside of the islands Xiuying Port, Xinhai Port and Nangang Port from the evening of February 19 and by midnight, over 10,000 vehicle had been stuck.







As a result of the traffic jam, the price of the flight tickets out of Hainan to major Chinese cities soared up by some 20 times.

It's said that after the ferry re-opened on the morning of February 20, 30 boats shuttled between the strait to transport nearly 7,000 vehicles over in 4.5 hours.It took another 24 hours to clear the queue.

The worst traffic jam ever in China took place in 2010 where motorists were caught up in a 60-mile tailback which lasted for more than 10 days on the Beijing-Tibet Expressway due to roadworks. 

Be grateful you’re not stuck in this kind traffic jam,with thousands of cars,buses and lorries in front of you.

One thing one can learn from the picture is the fact that the queue is organized unlike here in Nigeria. I hope we get it right.

Look at them, look at Nigeria; imagining the differences between both realities can't but produce depression.

With all their advancement, they're here again selling us junk electronics and sapping whatever little devalued Naira we can lay claim to from our oil sales with the Roads Contracts we keep throwing at CCECC and co.

When will Nigeria get it right?

The truth is, many nations do what they do to protect their citizens, many except well. . . Nigeria. China is really taking advantage of that population to become a force to be reckoned with. China will keep selling us junks because - I am sorry to say, we are beggars and we do have no choice. Not only that, we cut corners in trying to bring about infrastructural development which after 'settling' the peeps that be, little or nothing is left, hence, substandard products. Do I blame China? Nope. They would give according to what the client pays. You cannot buy a high spec laptop at a cheap price; it's impossible.

If Nigeria had its priorities right, China won't have been the country in Africa building infrastructures but instead, Nigeria will be - especially around the Sub-Saharan area.

No wonder the Chinese like to emigrate to other countries because their country cannot handle their exploding population. India is the same despite having a large country.

Nigeria should learn from these countries and start having family planning, otherwise the future won't be pretty.

Fog is natural so it’s an inevitable traffic,so it’s understandable.It will take giant of Africa 2months with serious robbery to clear these up

Chai, see better neatly designed roads; I counted 14 lanes in the first picture.
Wonder when our greed and selfishness would allow us attain such standards - a country where residents would quickly rush to construct their houses next to a road whenever a new one is built, therefore frustrating any chance for its future expansion.
