Wild elephants made a sensation during the Spring Festival holiday in southwest China's Yunnan Province by stepping on expressway and even into a village.

On Monday morning, a wild elephant strolled across an expressway near a toll station in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture. After being informed of the situation, police took traffic control measures and asked onlookers to leave the site or stay in their cars.

"The wild elephant crossed the expressway from west to east and entered into the nature reserve area. The whole process took about 20 minutes without causing any traffic accidents," said Zi Yurong, a traffic police.

On Thursday evening, five wild elephants appeared in a village in Yunnan's Pu'er City. The sight of those giant wild animals walking slowly in the village made villagers close their doors tight and climb on top of their houses to watch them. Those uninvited visitors did not leave until Friday morning.
