All-female patrol formed to help out Hangzhou tourists

An all-female team has been formed to patrol Hangzhou's West Lake and welcome visitors ahead of the G20 Summit that will be held in the city in September.

A total of 21 young women, dressed in berets, dark glasses and trimmed uniforms, patrol the lake's most crowded and well-known spots in four groups every day.

"One of our responsibilities is to dissuade tourists from behaving in an uncivilized manner that may harm others, such as trampling the grass, smoking, standing in dangerous places, or cycling too fast," said Wang Fangyue, the 23-year-old lead trainer of one patrol group.
