I am pretty sure people in Beijing have seen blond hair before. The main reason people will want to touch their hair is to feel Jim Bob's helmet head. Now THAT they probably haven't seen before.
No, I’ve heard blond hair is seen with a fascination in China. I know a family that went to adopt baby years ago and they said the people there were quite fascinated with their older daughter’s blond hair!
Imagine being the Chinese customs agent. He went home to his wife and 1 child and was like “I saw a guy with 19 dependents here to film his reality tv show, I hate America”
In China and Asia in general they take pictures of foreigners, I lived in Asia for years and was stopped multiple times by people to take pictures of me.
