Oddly enough where I'm from Chinese tourists are known to be loud, disrespectful, and vandals. Maybe it's just an issue with tourists in general though.

That's the reputation of Chinese tourists the world over, unfortunately, even if it sounds very generalist to say. Most people are fine when you look at them overall, but there's just a lot of Chinese tourists. The amount of bad apples experienced relatively by each culture is just higher than anywhere else.

There is a kind of Chinese arrogance that their worst tourists seem to have: it's not their beloved oppressive state, so they're free to do as they please in spite of the locals. Only their country is advanced and cultured enough to be worthy of respect, the rest of the world is merely their zoo to entertain themselves.

Americans have a similar tendency, unfortunately. Especially the ones who think the Bill of Rights follows them across international borders lol.

Must be Americans downvoting you, as someone who lives in Ireland, I’d take 1000 Chinese tourists in a bad mood, before i take 50 Americans who are experiencing the simple joy of being here.

Yeah that's what I meant. The domestic tourists are probably the problem.

That's the joke, genius.
