Mainland Chinese tourists are hands down the worst tourists on the planet. Even the Hong Kong Chinese can't stand them.
They don't understand lines or order, first off. They just loudly mob shit. One of the few times in my life that I had one of those head nod moments relating to race/culture was with a Thai dude at an airport in Thailand. There was a group of Chinese tourists near the check-in kiosks and the Thai dude working one of the counters made an announcement. The group of Chinese, in a group of about 20, loudly descend on this poor guys station--just shouting and absolute chaos--and we look at each other like, "I know, man. What the heck just happened?"
They let their kids shit and piss wherever. Busy street? No problem.
I remember watching this solo Chinese girl tourist renting a motorbike in Thailand while I was having a drink with my old bar friends. Just stopping the middle of traffic to check things like her phone, causing almost several dozen accidents in the short period I saw her. When she did drive, she was all over the freaking place. She stopped at the bar and I helped her with some translation stuff--absolutely zero self-awareness.
They're just clueless and inconsiderate and loud. Nothing exists to them outside of their wants when they're on vacation. I'm almost jealous; if I acted like them, as a white guy in a foreign country, I'd probably make fucking headlines.
That's how they drive in the mainland. Traffic laws are mere suggestions. I've seen some of them even drive in the opposite direction of the lane markers
