Climbing up not the shortcut to good photography

Bad behavior by tourists, such as climbing on top of a statue, is likely to put them on a blacklist, according to new industry standards issued by the China National Tourism Administration that came into effect on May 1. The regulations come amid growing concern about the poor manners of Chinese tourists at home and abroad. Being blacklisted will have negative influence on the person's credit and outbound travel application.

Instead of taking the risk, there are many other ways to shoot better photos without offending others. For example, by getting to the location early before the crowds arrive, carefully picking the angles, and using sense of humor to make the photo interesting.
