It includes telling guests to put litter in bins and to not ruin plants and trees

The government has created a six-part guide to prevent damage to the park

Ahead of Shanghai Disneyland's official launch on June 16, the government has created an etiquette guide for any tourists planning to visit.

From reminding visitors to put litter in bins to asking them not to deface public facilities, the guide features six pointers on how guests can maintain decorum at the $5.5billion (£3.8billion) park.

The guide was created by the city’s civilization office and the tourism bureau, in light of badly-behaved tourists already causing damage to the Disney park's surrounding areas, in recent weeks.

The Shanghai government has released an etiquette guide for visitors visiting the new Disneyland attraction, which opens on June 16

Included in the six-part guide are pointers for tourists to put litter in bins, something that has already been an issue in the Disneytown area (pictured)

Despite the theme park not opening for another three weeks, it was recently reported that visitors to the surrounding Disneytown area had trampled plants, picked flowers, carved graffiti into freshly-painted lamp posts and left bags of rubbish on the grounds.

One woman was photographed allowing a child to urinate in a flower bed in full view of other visitors, who travelled to the park just to hang out around its locked gates and peer into buildings that aren’t open yet.

Visitors were condemned and called 'uncivilised' online after the photos were taken on the public May Day (Labour Day) holiday in China, and circulated on the social-networking website Weibo.

The new handbook tells guests not to ruin plants and trees, to avoid lying down on the grass and to stand in a line without pushing in, according to the South China Morning Post.

Almost a million eager Chinese tourists have visited Shanghai Disneyland's front-gate public areas in the past few weeks.

With hundreds or even thousands of eager visitors arriving daily, the guide is hoping to prevent flowers and plants from being trampled

The resort's metro station debuted on April 26, allowing access to the non-ticketed Disneytown section, which features shopping, dining and entertainment options.

While none of the outlets are open yet, curious fans have nonetheless been happy to peek at the new public area, which includes a glimpse of the gigantic castle in the closed-off park.

Officials expect that the park will draw crowds of around 17 million per year.
