East Earth Travelogue: Shhh! "Grass is napping, please don't disturb"

If it were'nt for signs we would get ourselves into all kinds of trouble. Fortunately, the Chinese realize that most of us can't read Chinese and they have taken great efforts to accommodate us - sometimes with funny results. Here are some of the "Chinglish" signs I have found in China. (If you click on the pictures you can see them in an enlarged view).

This sign was posted on the front of a hotel in Baoding 


Two signs from Xiang ge li la (Shangri-la) in Tibetan, Chinese and English.



 Signs found around Lijiang










The sign below is from Lijiang. The top characters are in the Naxi Minority language, center is Chinese characters, and English below.


This was taken in the mountains around Jiuhua Shan. It has Chinese, English, and Korean. The picture says it all.
