I think it’s a sign
This can’t be right, when I saw this huge array of signs in a stationary shop I immediately sharpened my camera for the kill.
But look! Not a sniff of Chinglish anywhere to be found!
Come on signmakers- if you’re not sure of the correct translation, you can’t just write out the pinyin. Take a wild guess! Add swearwords! A nation of bloggers is crying out for material!




The picture is still on my phone so you’re going to have to imagine this one: A fire hose cabinet that reads “Fire Cock” in massive writing. The immaturity had me giggling for hours…
Top row, second from the right appears to say “Attention saffty”. Not the best bit of Chinglish, admittedly, but at least you can rest easy.
Shouldn’t it be “Storage Room” instead of “Store Room”? I am not a native English speaker either…so I don’t know.
Vip lounge should have VIP as all capitals.
Oh and Production Dept should have a full stop after Dept
Plenty of material there sizzle, what a waste of a post!
Oi luvs Man Utd is going to play in Hangzhou, any of you touts gots tix? will be a blast! we can shout anti-Manchester slogans and throw peanuts at each other! come one come all, have a ball LULZ!
Hi Josh
When are they going to play? I am big soccer fan and no MAN UTD is not my team. My feelings towards them has gotten a bit better after they sold Ronaldo (HE HE)
Maybe the machine is just broken, if you go back in a couple of weeks the chinglish will be back.
Man United in Hangzhou would be good fun but I’m on my holidays on July 26th.
Shame- we could all have turned up in Barcelona shirts.
Thanks for the tips on the Chinglish all- clearly I just need to lower my standards!
Actually I know English that’s why i don’t know much about all these sign but i thinks all would be good ……
Good Luck
