A Scottish tourism ad mistakenly used a photo of China’s Changbai Mountain, sparking discussion about authenticity.
Brother, I saw in the news that a photo of Scotland was actually from China. Is that true?
Yes. Someone noticed that the mountain road and guardrails in the ad looked a lot like the scenery of China’s Changbai Mountain.
Wow, why would they use the wrong photo? Shouldn’t they be very careful?
Because the advertising company provided the wrong image. Sometimes, if people don’t check carefully, they mix things up.
Would tourists be misled? They would think it was Scotland.
Yes, that’s the problem. Tourism promotion should be truthful, or it will affect people’s trust.
But China’s mountains are beautiful too. Would foreigners want to come and see them?
Of course. In fact, this incident also helped more people learn that China’s natural scenery is beautiful and distinctive.
So even a small mistake can help people learn something new!
