The Chinese embassy in Turkey has warned tourists to be careful of anti-China protests after some Chinese tourists were attacked and disturbed in the country.
The embassy posted a notice on its website on Sunday, warning that Chinese tourists should not get close to or film protesters as there have been multiple demonstrations against the Chinese government across Turkey.
The notice suggests visitors "minimize to the greatest extent outside activities on one's own".
According to local media reports, a small group of protesters attacked a Chinese restaurant which is actually Turkish-owned.
Protesters also attacked a group of Korean visitors by mistake, who were later rescued by riot police.
Some Turkish media previously reported that China banned Muslims in Xinjiang from worship and fasting during the holy month of Ramadan.
The Chinese side has strongly refuted to such reports.
