In the photo, the woman stands on the counter at Zhoushuizi International Airport in Dalian, Liaoning povince while airline staff and even a few passengers seem oblivious to her.

Most passengers, though, look rather surprised at her behaviour.

Xinhua reported that 102 flights were cancelled and 22 others were diverted to other airports on Thursday until Friday night due to snow and sleet. As a result, a large number of travellers were stranded in the airport.
