Recently, 1.43 million square kilometers of China have been affected by smog. The Central Meteorological Observatory continues to issue yellow and blue haze alerts, and Beijing also maintains a yellow haze alert, with air quality remaining at “severe pollution.” Citizens of the “Fog City” have been venting their frustrations and wanting to escape. According to the national air pollution index ranking generated from publicly available data from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, Sanya ranks 149th with an index of just 21 — the lowest in the country.

In fact, many celebrities have already bought property in Sanya, including Zhao Benshan, Jiang Wenli, Wang Siyi, and Qi Qin, among others. Netizens have said that to escape the “Fog City,” one should breathe freely in Sanya just like the stars. However, the “Sanya Overcharging Incident” during the 2012 Spring Festival discouraged many tourists who had hoped to spend winter there. Is Sanya only for the “rich and handsome” or “beautiful and wealthy”? Ms. Zhang, currently on holiday in Sanya with her family, shared a “value-for-money guide” with reporters. She said: “Our child is on winter break, so our family of five came to Sanya. We chose a two-bedroom sea-view holiday apartment at Xiaodonghai on Tujia.com, at 888 RMB per night. That’s less than 180 RMB per person per night. Since it’s not yet Spring Festival, flights from Beijing to Sanya during this period were 70–80% of the full price, and return flights from Sanya to Beijing were very cheap — we managed to book a 30% discounted return flight. The total cost for five people, including flights and hotel, was under 17,000 RMB.”

“Tujia’s holiday apartments are convenient for doing laundry and cooking, which is perfect for the elderly and children. We bought seafood and cooked ourselves, without worrying about being overcharged, and it’s both convenient and clean. The huge balcony has a 180-degree sea view, so we can enjoy seafood while spending quality family time. The value is incredibly high!” Ms. Zhang said.
Instead of “holding your breath” under the haze of PM2.5, why not breathe freely under the Sanya sun? Tujia.com (www.tujia.com) has announced its latest promotion: from February 1 to February 28, 2013, book and stay in any room type at a Sanya Staycity vacation apartment to enjoy a 20% discount.
“Tujia started in Sanya, operating with just four or five dozen properties. Now, our services cover nationally renowned tourist destinations and have earned praise from numerous travelers. Guests who’ve experienced Tujia almost all become our ‘fans’ and ‘repeat customers.’ We hope to bring everyone a better holiday experience in the new year, letting more people feel confident vacationing in Sanya and enjoying higher-quality service. At the same time, we also welcome everyone to stay at Tujia properties across the country and overseas, traveling together with family.” said Luo Jun, CEO of Tujia.com.
