The vaccine records already have both chinese and english.
2 years ago when I was in Lijiang with some friends we visited Qing Xi Park (Reservoir). The signs are clearly posted stating that this is drinking water but there was a guy taking a bath with soap and shampoo in the drinking water. I took a picture of him and that exact moment he reaches down and soaps and scrubs his gonads. We immediately called 12345 and within minutes a guard came and made him leave.
They even have signs in Chinglish:
Source water protection area.
Start from myself to protect the water source.

Lack of Delayed Gratification - can't hold a piece of trash until one reaches a garbage can.
The other problem is - Been to many places where there is Not a single garbage can in sight.
The Chinese report repeatedly mentions the catchphrase "Encourage the High End, Limit the Ordinary, Restrict the Low End" (鼓励高端、控制一般、限制低端) in reference to the new policy.
Hotels, motels, guesthouses are everywhere. No reason to book beforehand.
Short story - Arrived in Lijiang and was walking to our favorite guesthouse when we saw a laowai couple with the dreaded Lonely Planet book in hand. Dazed and confused with the deer in the headlights look I asked them if they needed some help. They were looking for some off the wall place where they already made reservations.
I told them, you just passed 30 or so guesthouses but they were determined to find this one place because they already made reservations. I am not exaggerating - 2 hours later after we got into our hotel and took a shower and were ready to relax in town, we saw the same fools with their double backpacks in tow, sweating and still looking for that guesthouse. I laughed!!!!!!
If you are a pampered 4-5 star lover, they always take laowais. If you like cheap, there is always someone who will take you in. The only one who ever got rejected and had to sleep in a manger was Mary and Joseph.

Once a pariah, China's orange king now adapting to digital age
发布者- Once convicted of embezzling.
- He was prosecuted for embezzling 1.1 billion yuan (US$174 million).
- serving three years of a life sentence.
- Chu is founder and CEO of a Yuxi-based fruit company.
- His orchard's success in breeding and growing specialty oranges has led to a common problem in China — copycat competitors.
A thief who does not like other thiefs - serves him right. Where did he get the money to start his fruit business? Obviously he stole more than what was initially believed and he was able to stash it where no one could get to it.
Why isn't this guy rotting in prison somewhere rather than getting rich again?
