Brother, I saw in the news that a photo of Scotland was actually from China. Is that true?

Wow, why would they use the wrong photo? Shouldn’t they be very careful?

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?
