Although he is surrounded by rubbish this man was happy to dig himself a hole, cover up with sand and have a little nap

A sun-seeker walks across the beach which is strewn with litter. The task of cleaning it up will prove to be mammoth

A man cleans the beach covered by garbage left by previous tourists. The task will prove to be lengthy as the beach is covered with rubbish and most visitors are adding to it by dropping items on the ground

This girl does not look too upset by the messy conditions on the beach as she lays in the sun with a spare rubber ring for shade

It is not just China's beaches which have a rubbish problem - their public transport is often inundated with trash on the floor
