A disrespectful visitor has attracted outrage on mainland social media for dipping her bare feet in the lake at a world-famous historical tourist site in Beijing.

Viral video footage from April 7 at the Old Summer Palace, also known as Yuanmingyuan Park, shows a female visitor perched on the side of a small wooden boat and dangling her feet in the water, the news website china.com.cn reported.
Her shoes and socks were left near a seat she had been sitting on in the boat, the report said.
An employee asks her not to dip her feet in the lake, telling her: “It is dangerous and disrespectful to history.”
The young woman ignores his advice and says: “I am a minor. I am only 16. I am rich second generation and I just like doing this.”
