Badly behaved Chinese tourists have once more made national headlines over the “golden week” National Day holiday, Chinese media reports.

The Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, Hubei province, was covered with nearly 300 pieces of graffiti, many made using correction fluid, which is difficult to remove, Dahe.com reported.

Some declared their love for their partners through their graffiti while others penned poems or drew pictures.

One person wrote “I’m happy to finally see the Yellow River”, although it was really the Yangtze River below.
