hope cameras don't bother it...

I doubt this is broken. It's easy to see that the intended meaning is the same if you remove the 'me'.

I get what you mean Fuzzy, but this isn't on someone's lawn, it is in a park in a tourist attraction.

The sign is also broken in Chinese.

This looks more like an entry for engrish.com than here. It's fairly clear that whoever translated the sign does not have English as a first language, and is likely translating a Chinese phrase directly. Considering it is a tourist area, perhaps they could have found a better qualified translator, but on the other hand, it is a rather quaint sign which adds to the ambience of foreign travel.

Um, OK then. It gets the message across.

NOT BROKEN!

The broken part is that what might be the second most popular tourist destination in the most populous city in the world can't afford a translator with a good command of the language into which it's to be translated. The sign itself may not be broken, but the reason behind its mistake most definitely is.

Broken.

It's a message from the grass. Therefor, not broken.

I doubt they would write it on the grass (instead of the sign) that they don't want you to step on

Possibly an attempt to personify the City to make the sign more compelling. Regardless, it conveys the message and thus it is NOT BROKEN.
