Hundreds of tourists were left stranded as heavy snow hit a scenic spot in southwestern China.

Video filmed in the city of Kunming in Yunnan Province on February 2 shows around 2,000 stranded tourists sheltering under a canopy while waiting to be rescued.

Another clip shows vehicles getting stuck on the snow-covered road.

More than 350 rescuers have been deployed to clear up the snow and save the stranded tourists.

All tourists have been transferred to safe areas and accommodated.

2月2日，昆明市轿子雪山景区迎来游客高峰期，当日接待游客4334人。14时许，轿子雪山景区突降大雪，下坪子至新山垭口约20公里道路因积雪致景区内部摆渡车无法通行，致使景区内约2000名游客滞留在下坪子处。接报后，禄劝县委、县政府立即启动应急预案，要求轿子山景区立即停止售票并发布景区封闭消息。
禄劝紧急协调组织警力180余人，县级相关部门、转龙镇、乌蒙乡应急分队及工作人员350余人投入现场应急处置工作。迅速调动铲雪车、装载机开展除雪作业，第一时间抢通四方景至新山垭口的转运道路，同时开展人员疏导和转运工作，为游客发放餐包，提供热水和保暖物品。组织转龙镇14家餐馆、38家旅社做好游客食宿保障。

广大游客积极支持配合现场应急处置工作。截至2月3日凌晨2时，滞留游客已全部转移至新山垭口及以下。由于新山垭口至转龙段道路湿滑，通行速度较慢，截至发稿之时，仍有部分车辆在新山垭口至转龙镇的途中。转运到转龙镇的游客均得到妥善安置。

目前，无人员伤亡情况，应急处置工作有序推进中。禄劝县将继续采取有力措施，确保每一位游客得到安全有序转移。（视频由云南台提供）
