Swimmers must be punished as they knowingly broke law

A VIDEO CLIP went viral online, showing a female tourist preparing to swim in a reservoir where some of her companions were already in the water, even though swimming in the lake is strictly forbidden. Thepaper.cn comments:

The woman seemed very "proud" of her rule-breaking. In the video clip, she said: "We are finishing our challenge! They forbid us to swim here, but now we are swimming against their rules."

While she spoke, some of her companions were already swimming in the lake, which many netizens recognized as Daye Lake where swimming is prohibited because it is a source of drinking water for Xi'an, Northwest China's Shaanxi province.
