Tourists still behaving badly as new law dawns

Chinese tourism has made the headlines for the wrong reasons in 2013 and the country's first tourism law came into effect on Oct 1, urging people to behave when traveling. Unfortunately for some, the following photos during the one-week National Day holiday show just the opposite. Media outlets, including People's Daily, have been promoting awareness of behaving well. Parents have been especially targeted to cultivate their children's good behavior in public places.
