OK, I can only count to ten in Mandarin and that is the extent of my 
Chinese, so I can't really talk.

But here are the rules from the Shanghai Oriental Pearl Tower.

1. The ragamuffin, drunken people and psychotics are forbidden to 
enter the tower.

2. No smoking at non-appointed spot.

3. Prohibit carrying tinder and exploder (banger,match, lighter), 
restricted cutter(kitchen knife, scissors, fruit knife, sword and so 
on) and metal made electric appliance.

4. Prohibit carrying animals and the articles which disturb common 
sanitation (including the peculiar smell of effluvium).

5. Prohibit carrying articles which can destroy and pollute inner 
environment of the Tower.

6. Prohibit carrying dangerous germs, pests and other baleful biology.

And it goes on..

Mind you New Zealand has a sign by the seafront which is pointing away 
from the sea saying 'seafront' it points towards a roundabout.

An interesting Canadian sign in a park in which wild bears roam, very 
helpful in explaining how to tell your bear by it's faeces. Apparently 
Grizzly bear will contain remnants of bells and will smell like 
pepper. This is after suggesting that park goer's should wear bells to 
warn the bears and have pepper spray, to spray if they come in contact 
with a bear.
