Beijing to launch its first uncivilized behavior list for park visitors

The Beijing Municipal Government will in mid-April release its first uncivilized behavior blacklist for park visitors, with five behaviors discouraged during the COVID-19 pandemic: failing to wear a mask, gathering in crowds, spitting, disorderly behavior and ticket scalping.

The blacklist concerns 13 behaviors to be banned in parks, of which five are discouraged during the pandemic, the China News reported on Monday, citing a Monday statement from Ye Xiangyang, director of the Capital Greening Office's landscaping park management.

"The crackdown on uncivilized park behaviors will be intensified this year, with the participation of not only landscaping departments, but also five other government departments including the urban management administration," Ye said.

Though COVID-19 has been largely contained in China, risks from imported cases and the incubation period of the virus still remain, thus prevention and control work is still mandatory.

The city will also step up law enforcement, and certain uncivilized behaviors will be punishable with a fine of between 50 yuan ($7.09) and 100 yuan, according to Beijing park regulations.
