No matter how hot it gets, keep your shirts, shoes on

Residents in Jinan, Shandong province have received a simple message from city officials: keep your clothes on no matter how hot it is.

The city's office of civic enhancement recently issued a notice to regulate public modesty during summer, especially those who go topless or barefoot in populous areas such as parks, squares, buses and scenic spots.

Residents are also advised not to swim, take showers or wash their clothes or feet at public lakes, the notice said.
