Chinese tourists outside of China really aren't much different from any other east Asians in my experience but that's probably because there all pretty middle class.
Actually in China its a bit weird as everyone does the kinds of things on holiday you'd normally expect only the middle classes to do, walking up mountains and the like rather than lazing on beaches. Seeing legions of chain smoking Chinese tourists dressed like there going to church desperate sucking on oxygen bottles in some Tibtian national park is a strange sight.
Good thing I'v found though is everyone does dam near the same thing, makes it very easy to get off the beaten track.
again, no common sense.
'The World's Most Dangerous Mountain' is mainly so dangerous coz half the fucking locals visiting the place turn up in work clothes, with little to no water or basic necessities. Women climb the fucking thing in high heels and strappy dresses and people are walking around oblivious to the fact they are on a treacherous mountain, taking selfies without looking they are going.
Some of the most intelligent (academically) but downright pigshit thick (street smarts and common sense) people I've ever been around in my life. I'm surprised there's so many of them to be honest - they should be dropping like flies over there given the way they wander around.
