he herd of 14 wild Asian elephants crossed the Yuanjiang River in Yuanjiang Country, Yuxi City, Yunnan province, on Sunday night, a progress that the provincial government described as significant. As of Sunday night, the herd was still in Yuanjiang County, about 200km away from their original habitat in south-western Yunnan's Xishuangbanna.

The elephants attracted worldwide attention after they left the reserve in Yunnan province last year and walked more than 500km north. They reached the outskirts of Kunming, a major city, in early June, before turning south again.
