For my next rebellious act, I shall consider breaking the speed limit. But not by too much.

It did strike me as a bit odd. I think something was definitely lost in translation (probably regarding not stepping on to the rock and getting close enough to the edge to fall in).

Gee, so you’re not gonna tell us what was so top secret that it couldn’t be photographed?

I believe it was something in the Three Gorges – some view or another which I completely failed to take a picture of, in favor of taking one of this sign (it was back in the days before digital cameras, so film was a precious commodity for a college kid on study abroad!).

This is quite funny Sarah. Sometimes the message on the sign dares us to do what the sign forbids us to do.
About an hour from where I live there is a tank range that borders a long distance hiking trail called the Bruce Trail, that I enjoy hiking. Signs are all over, forbidding entrance into the range, from the trail due to possibility of unexploded ammunition. It is very tempting, but in this case, thought I would play it safe……LOL! 🙂
Thanks for sharing! 🙂

It’s the old cartoon/movie line: “Don’t look down” and immediately followed by looking down. I don’t think humans are capable of doing anything else – or at the very least, we are always tempted to do exactly what we aren’t supposed to!
Then again, when it comes to tank ranges, I think I could probably resist that temptation!

Whatever would be there that they would not want anyone taking pictures? Good shot of the sign and you did capture a bit of the pretty water. Wonder what they do if the see people taking pictures. Hugs

They didn’t do anything to me!
I think it was supposed to tell people not to step on the rock and take pictures, rather than just not to take pictures at all. Something may have been lost in translation!

Glad you were in a safe place to take the picture. The sign did make for a very interesting and a bit comical blog post.

That’s the craziest rule I ever heard of! It needed to be broken. Shattered!

I think you’re right, this was probably one of those lost in translation type of signs. I would have taken the picture too! Haha 🙂

It had to have been – if only I had paid more attention in Chinese class, perhaps I could interpret the actual Chinese and not be forced to guess that it was a translation issue!

I’m curious. Why didn’t they want people to take pictures? Where were you?

I was in China – somewhere in the Three Gorges, before they flooded them. I think there was actually something lost in translation, and they really didn’t want you stepping on the rock in that picture to take photos, rather than not wanting you to take photos at all. You can sort of see the water behind it – it was probably not safe to be on the rock.

Isn’t it? I sadly didn’t take a picture of anything but the sign here, though – 15 years later, I think I should have!
