[quote=JABAROOTOO,298409]I live in Chongqing and yes it happens all the time.  Some people and especially young children are often very vocal and loud about pointing out that they have had the great fortune of spotting a Weiguoren or Lao Wei.   I find that the transient workers, those who have come into the city from rural areas and may never have seen a foreigner before  are likely to stare the most but are not rude about it.

How did these 6 foreigners know that the people staring where from Beijing?????

To be honest I find that the worst offenders at this practice of starring at and/or photographing a foreigner are domestic Chinese tourists.  When I am travelling in China, especially in peak holiday times and come across small groups of independent travellers and the groups following the flag waving guides, I and my friends are often the target of camera lenses and other sometimes quite rude behaviour .  I've been tempted to grab and smash a camera now and then but as yet have not done so.
