Chinglish is widely found on public notices in parks and at tourist sites, on menus, at airports, on street signs and even in official tourist literature. Many of the best examples of Chinglish are simply delightful and the 'language' has attracted a cult following, with even books and web sites dedicated to the subject. The 'Save Chinglish' group online has attracted more than 8,000 members and more than 2,500 Chinglish examples, while another group - The Chinglish Pool - have contributed more than 3,000 photographs.
