A family enjoyed a feast in their car during the holiday traffic jam on a highway in southern China.

The video was filmed on the Guangzhou section of the Xuguan Expressway on September 28.

Mr Wu and his family embarked on a journey from Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province to their hometown in Yongzhou City, Hunan Province, to celebrate the double festivals of China’s National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Their day began with high hopes, setting off at 9:00 in the morning. However, as the hours passed by, they found themselves still stuck in Guangdong Province at nearly 2:00 in the afternoon. With no village or store in sight, their situation was starting to look dire. Fortunately, they had the foresight to prepare a pot of food in the car.

Wu explained that they had anticipated the possibility of getting hungry during the long highway traffic jam. The previous night, they marinated beef tendons, chicken feet, and duck feet. They also brought along a high-pressure cooker and some rice. At a service area, they plugged in their cooker and prepared a fresh batch of rice. When the traffic came to a standstill, the family simply opened their makeshift car kitchen and enjoyed a hot meal together.

9月28日，许广高速广州段，吴先生带着一家人从深圳回湖南永州老家过国庆中秋双节，因为堵车，从上午9点出发，到中午快两点还没走出广东，前不着村后不着店，幸好提前带了一锅饭菜在车里。
吴先生介绍，他们担心高速路上堵车会饿肚子，前一天晚上就卤好了牛腱子鸡爪鸭爪，并且准备了高压锅和大米，在服务区插电把米饭煮好，堵车的时候，一家人便在车上直接开吃。
