Local police said on Wednesday that they have started to investigate nude photos posted by two lovers in Dali, Yunnan Province.

One of the lovers posted the outrageous photos on Weibo, China's micro-blogging site. In the photos, the two posed completely nude on Dali's Renmin Road, making sexually suggestive postures.

Internet users furiously criticized the photos, saying that they had no artistic merit. Dali's local police spokesman said they have started an investigation and will post updates.

If the behaviors and photos are deemed as "obscene" or "pornographic," the police can deal with the two lovers according to China's regulations on administrative penalties for public security, including possible fines and detention.
