Outrage over Chinese tourists destroying cherry blossoms

To get a beautiful photo, they are willing to kick and shake the trees, causing the flowers to fall, creating a shower of cherry blossom petals.

Cherry blossoms are in full bloom, making it the perfect time for selfie-loving youth to take photos on the streets. In Nanjing, China, tourists and locals flock to the street in front of Jinming Temple, where many cherry blossoms are planted, to enjoy the flowers and take photos.

The indecent images above have angered Chinese netizens.

“These people must be arrested, fined and prosecuted for causing aesthetic damage and destroying public property. Such actions are unacceptable,” said a netizen named Senkohoe.

Another netizen called this action "uncivilized".

This incident angered the Chinese online community because recently there has been a lot of information about the uncivilized behavior of Chinese people in public places.

Last week, a video emerged of Chinese tourists fighting over shrimp at a buffet restaurant in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The Chinese tourists pushed each other to get plates full of shrimp but did not finish them, leaving food on the table.
