Visitors tour the Ice and Snow World in Harbin in northeastern China’s Heilongjiang province on Tuesday, the night of the soft opening of the annual tourist attraction.

Over the weekend, China’s top tourism authority added the names of five tourists to a list published online that attempts to name and shame “uncivilized behavior” by Chinese tourists when they travel abroad. There are now 16 individuals on this list of embarrassing tourists, which was launched by the China National Tourism Administration in January.

Among those added to the list were two women and a man who brawled on a flight from Cambodia to the Chinese city of Chengdu. According to reports in the Chinese media, that incident erupted after a woman reclined her seat too far. The plane was delayed for an hour after the pilot asked officials to remove the squabbling passengers.

Another man named punched a Japanese convenience store clerk after the clerk asked the man’s wife to stop opening and eating food items in the store because the couple had not paid for them.

When Beijing announced in January that it planned to publicly shame unruly tourists, Chinese citizens were encouraged to take photos or video of any bad behavior they spotted and pass it on to authorities.
