A Japanese television station recently cast a spotlight on another instance of badly behaved Chinese tourists.

In a recent program titled “The Chinese Way of Enjoying Flowers,” several guests on a Japanese television show discuss the behavior of Chinese tourists who traveled to Ueno Park in Tokyo and Osaka Castle Park in Osaka during the Cherry Blossom season in Japan.

According to the Japanese television program, some Chinese tourists had climbed atop a high wall to get pictures of themselves surrounded by cherry blossoms. A woman was found to have pulled on tree branches for a photo-op, while another woman had photographed herself with a snapped cherry blossom branch. The Japanese television program was first reported on by Chinese business website Hexun on April 8.
