Video has emerged showing more than a dozen tourists dancing in unison on the motorway after their coach broke down in southwest China.

In the video, captured in Wanyuan City in Sichuan Province on September 5, a group of women square dance to music after there was a problem with one of the coach's tyres.

They decided to bide their time while waiting to be picked up by taking out their own stereo system and performing the dance.

But local reports said that police stopped the fun and evacuated them to a safe place.
