The Chinese government has launched a campaign to fix all the bad and/or funny English translations around the country. In the meantime, however, we're enjoying them. 

(And, despite my laughing, I'm also aware that my Chinese is much worse than any of the English that appears here!)

 

     

  The least informative flight cancellation sign ever. In case you have trouble reading it, it says the flight to Beijing has been delayed "due to some reason."

Another helpful airport sign, which explains the layout of the International Finger Concourse.
                   
                                
                  I'm not sure what "speeling" is, but I'm sure they don't want us to do it.  
                   
                   
               
                  This sign should probably just say, "Don't!"                                                 Excellent advice!
                   
                 
                             Lousy English? Yes. But a nice message all the same.                 The "Halleluiah Cafe" in Shenzhen.
   
               
                   The famous "Chylsrer eon," spotted in Shenzhen.                                      Never stop.
