Most Chinese people criticized that the scenic areas shouldn’t have promoted themselves in this way. Meanwhile, showing naked body in public is indecorous and awkward in most Chinese people’s eyes. Yesterday, a Sina Weibo user disclosed that two foreign visitors took nude photos in a scenic area of Yunnan Province. Later, it is confirmed that this happened in the Shizhong Phoenix Valley. According to the staff, two foreign visitors came into the scenic area in a group tour at 13:00 on July 16. When they came into the Totem Forest, they suddenly took off all their clothes and started taking nude photos. Some other visitors who saw the foreign visitors taking nude photos reported this to the staff and then two men brought them two blankets to cover their naked bodies. But they smiled and refused to take the blankets. Half an hour later, they put their clothes on and kept visiting the scenic area with other visitors. About one hour later, they left the group and disappeared. The visitors who reported this to the staff must have felt that it was indecorous to take nude pictures in public. So did the two men who brought them blankets. But the two foreign visitors didn’t think so. That’s why they refused to take the blankets and kept taking pictures. Hmmmm, I guess that those two foreigners took nude photos in the scenic area just because of reproduction organ worship. You may not know that reproduction organ worship is the theme of that scenic area. Most foreigners are more open than Chinese. Maybe nudity in public is no big deal to them. But it is indeed a big deal to most Chinese people. In my view, foreigners should respect the locals’ values and customs during the journey. Do you agree?

The reports said that other tourists just walked away. No one screamed. I guess that they were shy and didn't want to see the naked guys.

The scenic area should add one rule and print it on the back of the entrance ticket---"Don't take off your clothes and take nude pictures"
