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.

发布者Please keep in mind that this is NOT a good time to travel. Very crowded and hectic during this 3 day period.
Urban managers throw block party, no one attends
发布者The article is a joke but the cheng guan problem is real.
There is a place near my house where they store all the trikes and vending carts that the CG confiscate from the poor people just trying to make an honest living.

发布者"You see that cart they're eating apples from?" he replied, gesturing toward the officers. "That used to be mine."
Have another party - bring a booth and put the chenguan inside - charge 5 yuan per person to throw rubber bricks at them - they can raise millions in a few hours.
Chinese college freshmen increasingly unfit
发布者Although some kids are not slim as they used to be - some middle school kids are tall and big now because of all those hormone grown meats - The majority still remain relatively slim.
However, they are very weak and out of shape because they sit in school all day and at home also doing homework.
They barely can do a few pushups, can not even do a pul-up - like private Pyle, and they get tired after walking short distances.
