The traffic problems from the Spring Festival Travel Rush on Hainan Island appear to be coming to an end. Shipping service at three ports in the city of Haikou has resumed, and the Level 1 emergency transportation response there has been terminated.
And the navigation of ships across the Qiongzhou Strait has been restored. Last Saturday, the fog in Qiongzhou Strait triggered multiple suspensions of ferry services. It also left more than 10-thousand cars stranded each day, as the ferries are the only way for cars to leave the island. The weather is expected to remain fine until Wednesday, with no heavy fog likely to occur.
