Our flight from Shanghai to Sanya left Pudong Airport at 16:20 on our Anniversary.
I was waiting for Wendy to pick up the flight ticket in the newly opened BreadTalk in Metro City. It was freezing in Shanghai, and I didn't wear too much cloth, preparing for the summer in Sanya, Hainan.

Look at the astonishing buildings and the crazy road on the Nanpu bridge. I could not bear to live in the gray city any more. I hoped to escape to the beach as soon as possible.

The trip was 2 hours and 50 minutes. It was one of the happiest trip I have ever experienced. I have to say sorry to my back up Linda and Xiao Wen during my OOF. I left all the business stuff in Shanghai and only brought my wife to the lovely island. Haha. That is so difference than business trips.
Late Arrival at Sanya
After arriving in Sanya Phenix airport, it was completely dark outside. Wendy booked the Holiday Inn in Yalong Bay area.
About Sanya

Sanya is the south most city in Hainan Province, thus almost the south most city in China. It has great beaches and fresh air. Its air quality ranked the second best among the whole world (which city is the best? I am also wondering). It is said the average life length in Sanya is 80 years.

WJS, you wrote: Its air quality ranked the second best among the whole world (which city is the best? I am also wondering).
I've actually been to Sanya twice. The last time was Dec of 2003. I stayed at the Sheraton Sanya and I've been to the Holiday Inn Sanya for dinner. While I do appreciate Sanya very much and I expect to visit frequently to get away from the megalopolis Shanghai, I certainly can't imagine where you got that claim from. The air quality of Sanya may be pretty decent in China, but it certainly can't be the second best in the world. You've been to San Francisco and Seattle. What did you think of the air quality in Seattle? Have you visited Hawaii?
I can perhaps believe that Sanya has the second best air quality in China, but I certainly can't believe it's the second best in the whole world.
Glad you were able to visit Sanya and stay at the Holiday Inn. You truly live a very nice life for a Chinese citizen living in China. If all Chinese citizens in China could lead a life like yours, then I'd truly be happy for China and its people.
Posted by: Lance on July 23, 2004 7:36 PMWe are making our second trip to Hainan from Shanghai. Last year we went to Haikou. After you great description, we are excited and looking forward to our stay at the resort. We will let you know of our experiences as well.
Posted by: Tom and Phyllis on January 26, 2007 4:39 PMSanya's air quality ranks second in the world, according to a 1995 assessment by the World Health Organization. Sample it for yourself my friend.
