[Photos] Lychee Season Causes Huge Traffic Jams in Luc Ngan

During lychee season, the normally empty Highway 31 becomes inundated with farmers, bringing their crops to market, creating major traffic jams.

From trucks to motorbikes, all vehicles on the highway, which runs through the lychee-growing center of Luc Ngan, seem to be carrying the sweet fruits to domestic and international markets. 

Sure the traffic sucks, but hey, at least it creates some amazing photo opportunities!
