China News Service, Xinzhou, January 26th (Reporter Lu Qiguo) From January 23rd to 26th, the number of tourists entering Mount Wutai, a Buddhist holy place, remained high, and the section from the high-speed toll station to the Mount Wutai Tourist Service Center in Wutai Mountain Scenic Area was congested every day.

In this regard, the seventh brigade of the fifth detachment of the Shanxi Expressway Traffic Police took measures such as strengthening dredging, remote shunting, and issuing reminder information to minimize congestion.

　　At about 7:40 on the 26th, the square outside the toll station of Wutai Mountain Scenic Area on Cangyu Expressway was already congested with vehicles. The long queue of vehicles entering the mountain extended from the Wutai Mountain Tourist Service Center to this point, with a length of about 9 kilometers.

At 11 o'clock, the congestion situation still exists.

　　The vehicle congestion in Wutai Mountain began on January 23, and there have been different levels of congestion every day for four days.

Among them, congestion also occurred on the night of the 25th.

There are two main reasons for this situation: there are a lot of vehicles entering the mountain this year; some vehicles have not made an appointment in advance, which makes it impossible to enter the mountain and aggravates the congestion.

The traffic police of Shanxi Expressway implemented vehicle diversion on the main line of the toll station in Wutai Mountain Scenic Area of ​​Cangyu Expressway.
