If you are paying attention to your WeChat moments lately, you'll find the cherry blossoms across the city have come into full bloom, with Shanghairen setting out to capture the beauty of spring. Nevertheless, the actions of some visitors are quite… questionable.
According to Xinmin, uncivilized tourists are wreaking havoc to the blossoms to shoot gorgeous pictures (at least they think so). Their traces are all over the city and you can easily spot them at campuses and parks. The most common action is stepping on flowers at will, leaving trampled flower buds scattered on bare soil.

To achieve the effect of cherry blossom 'rain,' overenthusiastic visitors choose to shake the trunks or even climb onto the trees and force the petals to fall by waving the brunches.

If previous pictures are not depressing enough, behold the ultimate uncivilization here. Displaying eight dama sitting on the branches of a cherry blossom tree, as if these ladies are grown from it, the photo quickly went viral on the Internet and triggered heated discussion.

"Don't these barbarians feel ashamed?" criticized one netizen on Weibo. "These dama should be fined or banned from the parks forever."
"Well, guess Darwin's theory is true," whined another. "Human beings are evolved from monkeys."
The Qingming three-day holiday starts from tomorrow. Based on the forecast of The Weather Channel, all three days will be sunny and the mercury could climb to 28 degrees Celsius (82.4 Fahrenheit.) Here's a glimpse of the weather for upcoming days:

Suffice to say, the pleasing climate is sure to attract more tourists to the parks. Meanwhile, let's hope there won't be barbarian tourists bringing suffering to the transient beauty.
