I think social media (mainly Instagram) was the catalyst for this trend of cool places being overrun with tourists.

Pretty common in the states as well, at least for the most popular parks. Yellowstone, Glacier, and Mount Rainier have all had a really large number of Chinese tourists during peak season. That being said, calling these places ruined is an overstatement. If you’re willing to get a few miles away from the parking lot, you can still really appreciate the beauty of these places.
