Management at a freshwater lake in Yunnan will step up monitoring to prevent “uncivilised behaviour” after photos of a group of women taking a bath in the lake appeared online.

An internet user uploaded pictures of the women last week, showing one shampooing her hair and two others taking a dip in Fuxian Lake.

The lake is the deepest and one of the biggest freshwater water bodies in the province, and is known for its clarity. Bathing in the lake is strictly prohibited.

The Yuxi Chengjiang County Fuxian Lake Administration confirmed the incident occurred at a hot water section of the lake, China News Service reported.

The administration said it had hired 200 inspectors to stop “uncivilised behaviour” and one in charge of the hot spring section had been punished.
