Two young women at Hunan university were caught in a video clip shaking and bashing a blossom tree while a photographer urged them on in the background.
At the end of the clip, the ground appears littered with the brightly coloured petals and the trees are often left irrevocably damaged after the ordeal. 
Tens of thousands of domestic tourists have been flocking to different sites enjoy the remarkable sight of the home-grown trees, which have been popular in Japan for decades.
Nearly 30,000 people last weekend alone have been enjoying the cherry blossoms.
Recently the Chinese obsession with the spring blooms reached absurd levels, when a group of tourists were reported to have broken into a prison to get a glimpse at its famous cherry trees. 
MailOnline reported that prison officials had to employ extra security and formally shut access to the prison in order to stop the wave of unruly visitors.
