Affected by the cold air, severe snow fell on many road sections in Bazhou and Jingxian, Xinjiang. The local traffic police department made every effort to ensure the safe passage of blocked vehicles and tourists.

  At around 18:30 on October 06, National Highway 217 in Hejing County, Bazhou, Xinjiang, 896km to 931km (Bayingoleng Township to Tielimaiti Tunnel), 217 National Highway 775km to 816km (Hungary Keda Ban), the section of National Highway 218 between 403 km and 443 km (Gong Naisi to Huoshao Qiao) suddenly experienced heavy snowfall. For a time, the sky and the earth became integrated, turning into a white world in an instant.

Due to heavy snowfall, the temperature dropped sharply, which caused great inconvenience to tourists who came to play during the National Day holiday.

  As the road surface snow gradually increased, some roads were frozen, which blocked the passage of some vehicles.

After learning of the situation, the Traffic Police Brigade of the Public Security Bureau of Hejing County immediately organized the civilian auxiliary police to drive to the scene to rectify the vehicles blocked by heavy snowfall in time.

  The police sprinkled salt on the road by pulling the shoulders of the car to melt the snow and prevent "night freezing and day turning."

At the same time, police cars were sent to guide the vehicles and remind the drivers to slow down, maintain a distance between vehicles, and resolutely put an end to speeding and occupying the road to ensure driving safety.

  In the process of dredging, the policemen ignored the cold and used carts.

Under the infection of the police, some people have also joined the carts. With the joint efforts of the police and the people, the trapped vehicles can continue to move forward.
