I am American living in southern France and you haven't seen nothing until you've seen Chinese tourists.

From NYC and can confirm. Been to the art museums often and every time there's a group of Chinese teens/young adults taking a picture or selfie of every painting and moving on to the next one.

Don't be silly, they wouldn't do that!

They would take a minimum of 10 selfies per painting before moving on.

Haha, I thought Chinese shared that with Americans, but maybe they are more extreme -- I feel like living in France you get some selective bias of the type of tourists that go to France... It's France after all

Chinese tourists do pretty much the same in most places I've encountered them though, even Taiwan.
