A young couple manifested their love by engraving vows on bamboos in a hillside park in Hangzhou every year since 2007, according to local news website zjol.com.cn.
They are not alone. Almost all the bamboos growing around the scenic Huanglong Cave are inscribed with visitors. A park worker surnamed Lu said scribbling on the wall can be erased with paint, but engraving on bamboo cannot. It is permanent."
He said although they tried hard to stop people from making graffiti and even fined them, many people continue to do so.
Public attention to the epidemic of graffiti in scenic and historical sites was rekindled by a report on Friday that a 14-year-old student from Nanjing inscribed his name on a relief sculpture at the Luxor Temple in Egypt as the family was touring the place.
