Recently, a traffic signal light with camels appeared at the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Spot in Gansu province: Red camel for stop; green camel for go. Tourists and residents seemed to enjoy the creative idea.

Before the light was installed, the camel walking route intersected with paths for pedestrians and vehicles, which led to road congestion. After doing some research, the scenic spot creatively designed this signal indicator to separate people, cars and camels. Now at the intersection, camels watch the signal lights flash in order, and vehicles give way to camels and pedestrians. When visitors are waiting at a red light, they can watch the camels walking in line.
