They have traveled more than 500 miles [500 km] to this Olympics that began more than a year ago when they left the elephant - protected area in Xishuangbanna, near China's border with Myanmar.
They are believed to be heading northwest, although the reason for their migration is unknown, writes Independent, translates Periscope.
The elephant group took a pause Monday during which it was caught while sleeping together.
However, their pause lasted less than two days after they woke up and started traveling again, turning out that people could approach a settlement.
Experts on the issue are proving possible reasons behind this strange activity by elephants.
It is believed that the remaining space for native elephants in China has been reduced over the years, with tropical forests replaced by banana and tea plantations. /Periscope
