From Netease:
An impudent man. The shameless man was seen at Huaqing Pond today [10/10/2009].
Frankly, that woman should also be complained, as you can see from the following picture, she appeared to managed to reach the base of the white marble goddess statute which situated a few feet away from the bank of the pool.

About Huaqing Pool, also Huaqingchi, from official hqc.cn
The Huaqing Pool is located in the Lintong District 30 km east to the urban area of Xian. With Mount. Li to its south and the Wei River to its north, it boasts the natural hot springs. The favorable geographical condition and natural environment make it one of the cradles where ancient people settled and . It was also a favorite place for emperors to buildtheir palaces as a resort. Since ancient times, it has ever been a famous bathing and tourist destination.
According to historical records and archeological the Huaqing Pool has a history of 6000 years for the use of hot springs and a history of 3000 years of royal gardens. Over these years, the cultural relics excavated near the source of hot springs prove that over 6000 years ago primitive residents had used the hot spring. In West Zhou, King Youwang ordered the construction of Li Palace on the site. Then the emperors of the following dynasties join in the line. After Emperor Xuan Zong ascended the throne, he commanded the construction of Huaqing Palace on a large scale. The construction was built along the Lishan Mountains range, and the former spring well was designed into a pool. Roads were built to reach the top of Lishan Mountain and one two-way road to Changan linked Huaqing Palace with Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace in the capital city. In the year 747 A.D., the new palace was completed and emperor Xuan Zong named it Huaqing Palace. Because there are many hot spring pools in the palace, it is also called Huaqing Pool With the third peak of Lishan Mountain and the source of hot springs on the axis and the hot springs as the center, the palace was laid out in four directions. This design, on the one hand, made a good use of the hot springs; on the other hand, it represented a precise and strict layout. Inside the palace, there were officials bureaus and houses and hot pools. In addition, some recreational places such as the Rooster Fight Pit and Polo Field etc. for emperor Xuan Zong and Lady Yang were also available. At that time, the history of Huaqing Pool reached its climax.

Chinese’s awareness of maintaining a good conduct in a public place is improved more and more. They not only exposed the bad behaviors of the foreign tourists like the gentleman above who was seen touching the breast of marble goddess statute when posing for a photo but also their fellow Chinese who rode the ox statute or climbed to the sacred stone sculpute at Yuhuatai Cemetery of Revolutionary Martyrs (picture below).

“The most impudent man of All China”
Chinese on the right side reads, “Yuhuatai Cemetery of Revolutionary Martyrs [Nanjing, China] was filled with the crowded people, more than 100,000 people came here to pay a visit and their respect to the revolutionary martys. On the square behind Martyrs Memorial, a young guy suddently climbed on to the magnificent martyrs sculptures. Acting as if there was no one else present, he sat on the head of a martyr and have his friend take pictures for him. Truly speaking, I seldom cursed the people (maybe you couldn’t be counted as a person). But after viewing this picture, I couldn’t help but say—-you are really not notworthy of becoming a Chinese!!!!
Bonus: Two years ago, there was a big fuss in China about the Chinese climbing the bronze bull of Wall Street a Beijing TV reporter posted some pictures and criticized some Chinese’s behaviors on her blog.
