A Weibo post that accused a tourist of engraving words on a large water vat in the Imperial Palace in Beijing has sparked outcry on the Internet.
"Liang Qiqi has been here," read the sentence scratched on the side of a bronze vat, one of many in the palace, alias the Forbidden City, to store water for firefighting purpose.
The culprit was not caught in the act and a museum worker surnamed Yan posted a snapshot of the vat on Weibo, China's version of Twitter, today's Beijing Morning Post reported.
The post immediately set off an online search of the tourist called Liang Qiqi. Many netizens condemned Liang for damaging cultural relics.
