The majority of Chinese tourists do not cause any trouble. They are generally well behaved and like any other tourists. Unfortunately, the few bad tourists in the bunch truly do taint the image of the entire group.
On a recent trip to Hong Kong Disneyland, I was shocked on two separate occasions by the behavior of a few Mainland Chinese. In one instance, a woman allowed her approximately 4-year-old child to run around the park completely naked. The child urinated on someone's shoes while waiting in line for the Buzz Lightyear ride. The mother refused to clothe the child until park cast members told her she would have to leave the park. In another instance, a woman was shoving and cutting in front of others in line. When a cast member told her that cutting was not allowed, she stated that she was wealthy and should be allowed to cut everyone else because they were peasants. There were thousands of people in the park that day, but the rude behavior of two individuals is what stands out in my memory of our visit to Disneyland.
Is that fair to generalize all Chinese tourists as bad? Of course not, but it is difficult to erase those negative experiences.
