From NetEase:
Angry! Foreigners eating, drinking, shitting, pissing, sleeping on the Great Wall!
On the night of August 3, about one hundred foreign tourists stayed overnight on the Great Wall. Just their tents and sleeping bags alone required a truck to transport up the mountain, and the Jinshanling management granted clearance pretending to be ignorant. Looks like “Protecting the Great Wall and tourism environment” is not worth mentioning next to colorful cash.
What more, this kind of thing happened 2 just days after a newspaper reporter’s investigative report on the problem of illegal overnight stays on the Great Wall! These people cannot wait to earn money! It is evident that the management and individual bosses are in collusion with each other like snakes and rats living together in a nest!
Beginning from 2003, there have been people who have built “hotels” for overnight tourists, renting sleeping bags to foreign tourists at a price of 400-500 yuan per person. This reporter learned from Luanping County Great Wall management that people were once allowed to stay overnight on the Great Wall, but must pay 100 yuan overnight stay fee and 50 yuan entrance fee, but now tourists staying overnight on the Great Wall is no longer allowed. Yet there are still foreign tourists living on the Great Wall.
Many of those coming to the 4A-level Jinshanling Great Wall scenic area are foreign tourists. After arriving at Jinshanling Great Wall, there are people on the sides hawking sleeping bags for personal profit. Jinshanling Great Wall itself is a lightning area, and previously here there have been incidents of tourists being struck by lightning! When I think of the British William-Lindsay leading a group of foreigners picking up trash on this portion of the Great Wall, doing everything to protect the Great Wall for 20 years, I don’t know whose face [foreigners or Chinese] should be red…

Sad, many of China’s scenic spots are all ruined, with the managers only collecting money, not managing/taking care of them.
joechim:
Foreigners’ characters are really low.
Embarrassing themselves all the way here to China.
Jerry44122:
Instead of taking care and protecting our cultural heritage, they have taken it away to make money.
123yjz123:
Once the Great Wall, now the Money Wall.

I need to go see the Great Wall soon, otherwise I might not have the chance later.
yetan1:
Too breathtaking. I don’t think this kind of tourism should be allowed, at most let tourists look from the side or have helicopter tours, or even a cable car would work.
阿里大牙:
Don’t blame the foreigners, they paid money, they are consumers. Don’t we all say everyday that we must protected the lawful rights and interests of consumers?
归云轩:
I do not think we can blame this on “laowai” having poor characters.
There are a lot of bastards amongst our country’s people too.
ddww2008:
Foreigners camping on the Great Wall is said to be sullying beauty!
Then what is our countrymen carving “到此一游” ["visited here"] on the bricks???
谁吃瓜子皮:
I haven’t been to the Great Wall yet, and dammit, seeing this I don’t want to go anymore! And good Chinese?! If I go and see those bastard “laowai” eating, drinking, shitting, pissing, sleeping on the Great Wall without giving them a beating, then I would not be a good Chinese person! Those who do not go to the Great Wall are not good Chinese, but those who go and do not flatten those foreigners who insult the Great Wall are truly not good Chinese!

At least foreigners won’t make a complete mess of the environment, as I believe they will take their trash with them.
ssshs:
Sigh, no matter what you say, it is still a world wonder. NND, unscrupulous tourist managers and foreigners.
liuchun79746:
All day talking about how our countrymen’s characters aren’t high when abroad, tmd, I have rarely met any “laowai” with high characters in China!
lichengwei_5:
There is nothing that can be done, this thing was made public a long time ago. There has even been group sex on the Great Wall, so other than collecting money, do the managers [of the Great Wall] know how to do anything else?
月泮湾:
Angry, unscrupulous managers.
Fortunately, at least it isn’t Chinese people sleeping on there, otherwise, there would be even more garbage to pick up.
xinxinxiu:
I see a sequence, not trash…
鸿亿五金厂:
LZ, do you know? “Camping is not allowed on the Great Wall” was written for us Chinese people only!!!
viping-963:
What can you do? They are foreigners, they are “international friends”, so we must wait on them as if they were our ancestors.
hrblgql:
Sigh! When we ourselves become clean, self-disciplined, then “laowai” will also be self-disciplined. Who let you go piss and shit in front of other peoples’ front doors?
jialanbaobei:
Ugh…too shameless…what country are they from??? I too want to go to their country to ruin their environment/surroundings!!!
