I dont think Ive seen a Chinese city with so much greenery in the city (with the exception of Guilin and Yangshuo). However, I think Sanya is clean compared to Guilin, and perhaps see one of the cleanest cities in mine and China. Everything in the city very well maintained. The trees and tropical plants are actually a pale green, while other Chinese cities, plants and trees are gray, dark green color of the structure of dirt, dust and all that guck else in the air. Sanya is not so. All trees and plants is one of the bright colors and attractive, and all the pieces of several years will see the public sector officials to water the plants and trees.
