Signs with garbled English translations were removed from a park in Shanghai on Monday.
Are we surprised? No. China is known for its less-than-accurate signage.
The signs in Zhongshan Park came under fire after someone posted a photo of it on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, reported ShanghaiDaily.com.
They were removed by local parks authorities.
The signs will be back up after they have been correctly translated by experts at the Shanghai International Studies University, reported ecsn.cn.
Here are 10 other signs that we hope have been corrected.
