Ancient land formation destroyed by tourists

In Zhangye, China, a unique land formation that is said to be millions of years old was destroyed by a group of tourists who first broke into this unique landscape and then destroyed the place.

Bamboo forest vandalized

As evident in this case, even bamboo forests aren’t really safe from being vandalized by the tourists.
