BEIJING, Oct. 4 -- No traffic accidents that involved more than three deaths have been reported nationwide as of Saturday afternoon since the busy National Day holiday started on Wednesday, said the Ministry of Public Security.

Road traffic nationwide on the fourth day of the seven-day national holiday has not changed much compared with Friday, said a ministry statement.

Most expressways and major national highways have been eventless, except a slight traffic jam between east Chinese cities of Hangzhou and Nanjing, a small landslide along an expressway in central China's Hunan Province and traffic control on a section of expressway in northwest China's Shaanxi Province due to maintainance, the statement said.

Busy traffic was seen near the Shaolin Temple in central China's Henan Province and Yulong Mountains in southwest China's Yunnan Province.
