Among them, “entering houses without permission to use the bathroom,” “break-ins,” “littering,” and people “defecating in private yards” and “complaining when residents catch them.”
I really don’t understand how a tourist can think any of this makes sense. Like, would they do this in their country too?
China. These are China-nese tourists. They used to do the same shit in Taiwan before the government banned them.
I saw a mom put their kid on the trashcan so he could pee into a trash can. This was an indoor mall.
It’s a frequent issue in Hong Kong too where people from the mainland will just shit right in the street and walk away like its no big deal.
Like, would they do this in their country too?
Absolutely
Am also in Wyoming and can confirm.
They do
My impression overall here is that most tourists try to behave very well. I see people from my home country offer gentle gestures like carrying an elderly person’s bag up the stairs that they would not do at home.
The problem are the 3 fuckers among 10000 who behave like shit, and the fact that there are so many tourists especially in high season.
Some things are meant to be local and communal...just let it be.
Wouldn’t a bunch of porta potties solve this?
There are public bathrooms at the park. It was packed with tourists and their litter when I went in 2024 though.
As for the streets where people actually live, they shouldn't need to have a bunch of ugly porta-potties occupying the streets in front of their home. It's a place where people have always lived, not a place that exists solely to be a tourist attraction.
I guess I wrongly assumed all tourists would have the common sense to not defacate in someone else's yard.

Soooo, the festivals are probably put on by the city or area. If the bathrooms at the park were packed, then the city and area should provide more porta potties. It’s kind of simple. The cities probably wanted the tourism, but are now realizing that it might not be worth it? That I get. The pooping thing though, that I don’t get.
Not with Chinese tourists it would seem.
lol… wtf
Worth reviewing what type of sanitation services are available. If people are completely ignoring adequate public recepticles and bathrooms then that can be addressed a variety of ways but that seems relatively less likely in my opinion.
You have never been to Japan, have you? If any country in the world has excellent public bathroom infrastructure, it’s Japan. Always clean, generally free, and within 1-2 minutes walking range.
The already existing infrastructure may be of good quality but it doesn’t really matter if the capacity isn’t there to meet the volume of people.
In fact, let’s agree that your point is absolutely true. Wouldn’t it then br most likely that people would want to use those facilities and the only reason they may not be is because the wait is too long?

Maybe I’m too Usian to understand this but the article doesn’t call out tourists from any particular country. So it’s odd to me that China is being called out so much in the comments.

People know… If this news was from somewhere in Europe everyone would be blaming the Brits in the comments. It’s known…

Seems odd to me as well. I feel like we need proof other than strangers on the Internet just making claims.
