China Property Bubble: Ghost Town of Kangbashi in Ordos

All Quiet
The Kangbashi district began as a public-works project in Ordos, a wealthy coal-mining town in Inner Mongolia, China. A public-works project worthy of Kubla Khan’s “stately pleasure-dome,” The area  is filled with office towers, administrative centers, government buildings, museums, theaters and sports fields—not to mention acre on acre of subdivisions overflowing with middle-class duplexes and bungalows. The only problem: the district was originally designed to house, support and entertain 1 million people, yet hardly anyone lives there.

Empty
Six years ago, Ordos county officials decided to move their headquarters out of old, cramped Dongsheng and into land that was then occupied by two small villages inhabited by about 1,400 people. By the end of 2008, the new district of Kangbashi was crisscrossed with 2.4 billion yuan ($352 million) worth of roads.  Though many of the properties in Kangbashi have been sold and a million people were projected to be living in Kangbashi by 2010, the city is still empty.

Vacant
Mostly empty apartment buildings in Kangbashi, a half hour down the road is Dongsheng, where most of Ordos’ 1.5 million resident call home.

Wealth and Knowledge
A pair of workers tidy up outside the public library. The city boasts the second highest per-capita income, behind to Shanghai but ahead of Beijing.

Treasure Palace
Workers carry pieces of foam up the stairs of the Ordos Museum, which is still under construction.

Monument

Light Traffic

No Sale
A pedestrian walks past a mostly unoccupied commercial area. Almost no businesses have moved into the new district.

Eerie Quiet
Empty streets remain empty even during the morning commute.

In Medias Res

探秘“中国第一豪宅”汤臣一品的奢华

汤臣一品：中国第一豪宅

汤臣一品 汤臣海景花园坐落于上海浦东陆家嘴滨江大道旁，和黄浦江不过一路之隔，拥有无敌一线江景；离大型购物广场正大广场和地铁陆家嘴站只需步行5分 钟；四周被东方明珠塔、上海金茂大厦、上海环球金融中心、花旗集团大厦等高级写字楼和酒店簇拥，占地2万多平方米，总建筑面积达11.5万多平方米，由两幢40层和两幢44层的超豪华滨江住宅和1幢高级会所组成，整个项目于2005年全部建成投入使用。

2005年10月，均价11万/平方米的汤臣一品开盘后，一夜间创造了中国豪宅的最高天价，在2009年11月3日汤臣一品成交一套8号28层房源，这套面积597平方米的豪宅售价高达9609万元，均价高达160848元/平方米，创下上海甚至是内地住宅成交价新高。超过了2007年2月汤臣一品同一栋楼31层创下的上海公寓当时的最高房价纪录——142243元/平方米。

豪宅总是带着一定的神秘色彩，还有一些遥不可触的高高在上。但还是想让人前去一探究竟。可要参观这汤臣一品的样板房还真不是件简单的事，预约后还得审核你是不是够这个资格。为了满足大家的好奇心，现在就随我们前去一窥其样板房的庐山真面目吧，看看顶极豪宅是怎样装修的！

走近汤臣一品看似普通的建筑外墙，采用的却是日本三菱的高科技纳米技术，并单独为汤臣一品设计外墙颜色，注册为“汤臣Color”这一汤臣集团特有的颜 色。而屋顶的设计前前后后竟然修改了36次，从这些外立面细节来看，汤臣一品的品位已让人对其室内装饰的豪华程度好奇不已。

汤臣一品由两幢40层和两幢44层的超高楼组成，电梯能否运作，一切靠掌纹。室内采用多拉家常大金（DAKIN）VRVⅡ户式中央空调和美国碧慕 （BEAM）中央吸尘系统。保安系统也十分完善：美国Honeywell防盗主机，美国DORCON掌机仪，德国SIEDEL可视对讲系统，Lonbon 紧急对讲系统。看来富人们居住的地方，安全是首要的。

汤臣一品采用的是防弹铜门和防弹窗，在门上镌刻着经典的西方植物图案，同时各个细部还镶嵌有水晶，主人入室全凭指纹。

打开门，显现在眼前的即是一个金碧辉煌的世界，晶莹剔透的水晶吊灯、以金、黄为主色调的家具，夜色中的外滩……在镜中映照下，翻倍地呈现在眼前，这时候，我们除了感叹其奢华外，更是佩服设计师的独具匠心。

客厅与餐厅——最受成功人士欢迎的欧式设计风格，金光中透出的奢华。

厨房——选用顶极品牌，价值百万，人性化的定制设计。整体橱柜选用的是德国著名厨具品牌Poggen Pohl，整个厨房设计不但豪华美观，而且符合人体工程学设计，“储备区、存储区、清洗区、准备区、烹饪/烘烤区”五大功能区域有明显的划分。

整体橱柜选用的是德国著名厨具品牌Poggen Pohl

厨房家电选用的是世界最高档次的嵌入式厨房电器品牌Gaggenau，Gaggenau强调的是量体裁衣式的独特技术，其电器产品也以节约能源而受到富人们的欢迎。

阳台：汤臣一品的最大卖点，君临天下的优越感

走到阳台，才明白汤臣为何会狮子大开口要价16万/平方米，汤臣一品正坐落于黄浦江270度转角处，属浦东看江最佳的位置。在这个阳台上，你可以将全上海最繁华，最有价值的景色尽收眼底。在这里享用一份晚餐的感动与难忘，并不亚于在金茂。

如果说客厅是专为招待客人而设计，那书房就是专为主人自己设计的，以实用和舒适为主题。厚重的电视柜属于经典欧式古典设计，与近年来流行的矮柜设计相比，更加实用。此外，这间书房还兼有视听室的功能，后置音响需要在隐蔽工程时就布好线。

书房一侧沙发上的几个靠垫很是抢眼，混杂着泰式和欧式的风情，让人不仅想抱着手里揣摩一番。可别小看这些软装饰，略显浮夸生硬的古典风格，就需要这些软装来活跃气氛。

卧室沿袭了古典欧式一贯的金壁辉煌，所有的家具都描上了金边，与普通公寓卧室设计不同的是，汤臣采用落地窗取代了飘窗，无形间扩大了卧室的视野，显得更大气。

从儿童房，也就是次卧窗外望去，是上海最大的CBD——陆家嘴金融中心，次卧的设计相对较为简洁，没有繁复的饰物和雕花。

卫生间的设计并无太大新意，给人的感觉就像宾馆里的许多豪华套房一样，干湿分离的设计，进口大理石的墙地面和浴柜台面，依旧是个金而亮的空间。

浴室采用挪威Nexans地坪加热系统，下沉式的按摩池设计更是增添了几分贵族气势。意大利TEUCO超音波按摩浴缸和德国Hansgrohe、Pharo淋浴组。

Tomson Riviera:Maybe the Most Expensive Apartment Complex in China

Tomson Riviera, China's most exclusive residence, consists of four golden-hued towers in the heart of Pudong's Lijuazui CBD in Shanghai

Tomson Riviera, a luxury riverfront complex in the heart of Pudong’s Lujiazui financial district in Shanghai, consists of four golden-hued towers overlooking colonial buildings on the Bund across the Huangpu River and breathtaking views of the Oriental Pearl Tower, the Jinmao Tower and the Shanghai World Finance Centre.

Residents are greeted by sweeping views of the Huang Pu River and the colonial buildings on the Bund

The apartment complex’s entrance has original artworks by Salvador Dalí and well-known Chinese artists. The apartments, a few of which have been decorated by Armani and Fendi, as well as Versace, lease for $7,000 to $17,000 a month — to high-level executives from companies like General Motors.

Tomson’s prices are soaring.  A 6,458-square-foot (600-square-meters) apartment was sold recently for about $14.1 million (96.09 million yuan) or $2,189 a square foot (160,848 yuan), a new record for priciest home sold in China. The average luxury apartment in Manhattan sold for just under $1,900 a square foot in the fourth quarter of 2009. Indeed, for the price of a Tomson apartment in Shanghai, a buyer could easily purchase a 6,000-square-foot home in Los Angeles built by Frank Lloyd Wright and now for sale ($10.5 million), or a 52-acre site with a 22-room residence in New Canaan, Conn. ($24 million).

The spacious duplex comes with crocodile-skin bedposts, hand-carved bronze doors inlaid with Swarovski crystals — and a $45 million price tag.

中国房地产市场无惧泡沫风险

在上海金融区，豪华的滨江公寓正在火热销售中

上海 —— 宽敞的复式公寓配有鳄鱼皮床柱，纯手工打造的青铜门上镶嵌着施华洛世奇水晶——该公寓标价4500万美元。

该套公寓尚未售出，但在这金融区中心地带的超豪华滨江楼盘“汤臣一品”的项目开发商汤臣集团执行董事汤子嘉（Charles Tong）表示，他不难找到类似房价的购买者。

“我们每天能卖出三四套汤臣一品的公寓，”汤先生坐在一张白色的范思哲安乐椅上说，“现在，中国人都想要更奢华的房子，他们想要追求一种全新的生活方式。”

豪华公寓汤臣一品，融合范思哲时尚，外加镶嵌有施华洛世奇水晶的铜门

每个人都纷纷认为，中国正处于极度的房地产繁荣之中。但问题是，它是否正处于一个正迅速膨胀的房地产泡沫之中呢？

当近年来的其他一些“繁荣”纷纷破灭时——比如在美国——它们导致整个经济陷入萧条。中国一旦出现“泡沫”破灭，则可能会大范围地影响到整个世界。中国是目前世界上增长最快的经济大国，是迄今为止拉动整个世界走出经济衰退的主要动力。

中国政府显然对中国房地产现状深感忧虑。政府当局最近采取措施，意欲加强对信贷宽松的控制，其中包括严控第二房贷。而正是过去宽松的信贷政策促进了中国的超速发展。

中 国政府权威统计数据显示，去年中国房地产成交额达到创纪录的5600亿美元，比上年激增了80%。随着房价飞涨，房地产开发商们都争先恐后地建造更多的豪 宅、别墅以及高层公寓，并纷纷标上Rich Gate（富门，即“华府天地”）、Park Avenue（派克大道，即“静安豪景”及“静安枫景”）和Palais de Fortune（“财富公馆”）浅显易懂的外文名。

到 处是一派繁荣楼盛的景象。上海的一名投资者在一天内一气签约买下了54套公寓；去年中国一幢别墅卖出了3000万美元的高价；2009年12月某开发财团 出价35亿美元买下了广州的一块地皮，这一天价创全球历史最高记录。在中国北部的天津市，开发商们在一个天然水库上建造了一系列人工岛屿——形成一座价值 30亿美元的“漂浮城市”（floating city），上面设有别墅、购物中心、水上乐园以及他们说将是世界上最大的室内滑雪场。

“这太疯狂了，”前摩根士丹利经济学家、现为独立分析师的谢国忠（Andy Xie）说，“按所有常规指标（例如租金收益比）来衡量，中国房地产的确是一个泡沫。”

投机者正疯狂抢购房产，他们预期房交会将继续上涨，因为过去10多年来，中国房价每年都呈上涨趋势。实力雄厚的房地产开发商欲与地方地政府联手将老城改变为梦境城市。

但是，作为中国最富有也是最耀眼的城市，上海正处于房地产繁荣的中心。据房地产专家介绍，自2003年以来，上海房价已上涨了1.5倍多，目前上海一套典型的1100平方英尺公寓售价已高达20万美元，而上海市普通市民一年的收入不到5000美元。

购房狂潮席卷上海整个城市，造就了上海去年土地拍卖收入高达10亿美元，以及长长的待房名单。

“在这里，买房比买青菜出手还要快，”广告公司经理安迪·项（Andy Xiang）说。他刚刚付了一大笔定金，签约买下上海高档住宅区新天地售价高达130万美元的一套公寓。

汤臣一品

汤臣一品项目地处上海陆家嘴金融贸易区核心地段、黄浦江边第一线、正对外滩，与东方明珠、金茂大厦、环球金融中心等地标建筑并肩而立。汤臣一品的奢华是罕见的，它包括四幢俯瞰黄浦江的金色滨江高层及一个设计成龙形的中心花园组成。公寓高层的 入口处彰显着萨尔瓦多·达利（Salvador Dalí）及一些著名华人艺术家的原创杰作。其中一些公寓套房配设阿玛尼和芬迪家饰，以及范思哲风尚的家饰，租金为每月7000美元至17000美元，租 客都是通用汽车公司之类的跨国大公司高管。

那些购买汤臣一品公寓的都是顶级富豪，比如与众不同的上海企业家刘益谦（Liu Yiqian），据《福布斯》杂志的估计，其身价高达约5.4亿美元。

现年47岁的刘先生，最初在上海开出租车，但最终通过股市投资发了巨财。在本周接受采访时，他承认，他在上海拥有数百套公寓（他说他不记得到底有多少了），其中包括他在2008年以1150万美元的价格买下的一套6000平方英尺的汤臣一品公寓。

“我投资物业，”刘先生说，同时也收藏艺术品、古董和玉器。“我认为，五至七年后上海的房价会更高。”

中国中央政府及各地方政府试图对房地产市场加以调控，但他们的处境形如走钢丝。土地拍卖收入是政府收入的主要来源，去年总计高达2340亿美元，相当于中国6000亿美元经济刺激计划总额的三分之一强。

中 国是否处于房地产泡沫之中哪？这已成为公众争辩的热门话题。华盛顿彼得森国际经济研究所（Peterson Institute for International Economics）尼古拉斯·R·拉迪（Nicholas R. Lardy）等一些经济学家认为，中国房地产市场的繁荣，是受到规模巨大的城市化进程的推动，造就了高价住房的蔓延。

其他一些市场分析师则认为，中国房价高居不下的幕后推手是贪婪的房地产开发商，以及政府致使移居大城市的民众无法负担住房的相关政策。

汤臣一品项目开发商——汤臣集团执行董事汤子嘉（Charles Tong）

尽管市场担心中国房地产已成泡沫，汤子嘉先生认为汤臣一品的价格是合理的，尤其是因为中国有这么多深藏不露的隐身富豪。上市公司汤臣集团由汤子嘉家族控股。

“我有一个朋友，”他说。 “她生产孕妇服装。她的公司占有世界上20%的市场份额，而该公司还未是上市公司。”

汤臣一品的房价还在飞涨。最近售出的公寓每平方英尺达到2300美元。据美国纽约艾丽曼地产公司（Prudential Douglas Elliman real estate）的统计，2009年第四季度时，曼哈顿豪华公寓的平均成交价为每平方英尺不到1900美元。

事 实上，以上海汤臣一品公寓的价格，购房者可轻而易举地买下洛杉矶由美国著名建筑大师弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特（Frank Lloyd Wright）建造的6000平方英尺的名宅（现售1050万美元），或者康涅狄格州新迦南市占地52英亩有22间房的豪宅（市价2400万美元）。

但汤臣一品的一位销售代理认为，上海是世界未来的金融之都，而不像将成明日黄花的美国纽约。

“看看这座铜门，”王耀东说，“它市价5万美元！看看这些Gaggenau品牌的厨房电器设备。是德国制造的。”玻璃是从比利时进口的，按摩浴缸来自意大利。不用担心忘了房门钥匙，他说：“这个门锁可以识别你的手掌。”

Market Defies Fear of Real Estate Bubble in China

Luxury riverfront apartments are selling fast in the financial district of Shanghai

The spacious duplex comes with crocodile-skin bedposts, hand-carved bronze doors inlaid with Swarovski crystals — and a $45 million price tag.

It is still on the market, but Charles Tong, the developer of Tomson Riviera, a luxury riverfront complex in the heart of the financial district here, says he is having no trouble finding takers for similarly priced units.

Charles Tong, the developer of Tomson Riviera.

“We’re selling three to four apartments every month,” said Mr. Tong, seated in a white Versace easy chair. “Now, people here want something more luxurious; they’d like a new lifestyle.”

Everyone agrees China is in the middle of a spectacular real estate boom. The question is whether it is in the middle of a rapidly growing real estate bubble.

When other recent booms collapsed — in the United States, for instance — they depressed entire economies. In China’s case, a bursting bubble could affect much of the world. China is the fastest-growing large economy and, so far, a main engine pulling the world out of recession.

Beijing is clearly concerned. Authorities have recently moved to rein in the easy credit that has helped finance China’s hyperdevelopment, including making it more difficult for home buyers to take out a second mortgage.

Last year, a record $560 billion of residential property was sold in China, an increase of 80 percent from the year before, according to government statistics that are widely considered reliable. And with prices soaring, developers are scrambling to build more mansions, villas and high-rise apartments with names like Rich Gate, Park Avenue and Palais de Fortune.

Signs of exuberance are everywhere. An investor in Shanghai recently bought 54 apartments in a single day; a villa sold for $30 million last year; and in December a consortium of developers paid more than $3.5 billion for a huge tract of land in Guangzhou, one of the highest prices paid for any property, anywhere. In the city of Tianjin, in north China, developers have created a $3 billion “floating city,” a series of islands built on a natural reservoir, featuring villas, shopping malls, a water amusement park and what they say will be the world’s largest indoor ski resort.

“This is wild,” said Andy Xie, a former Morgan Stanley economist who is now an independent analyst. “By all the traditional measures, like rental yield, this is a bubble.”

Speculators are snapping up properties on the expectation that prices will continue to rise, as prices have nearly every year for more than a decade. And powerful developers are working with local governments to transform old cities into urban dreamscapes.

But Shanghai, China’s wealthiest and most dazzling city, is the epicenter of the boom. Prices here have risen more than 150 percent since 2003, pushing the price of a typical 1,100-square-foot apartment up to $200,000, according to real estate experts. (Shanghai residents typically earn less than $5,000 a year.)

A buying frenzy has gripped the city, leading to billion-dollar land auctions and long waiting lists.

“The speed you buy a house here is faster than you buy vegetables,” said Andy Xiang, an advertising executive who recently put down a large cash down payment to get the right to pay $1.3 million for an apartment in the city’s exclusive Xintiandi area.

Tomson Riviera, China's most exclusive residence

Few residences, though, are as upscale as Tomson Riviera, which consists of four golden-hued towers overlooking the Huangpu River, with a central garden mapped out in the shape of a dragon. The apartment complex’s entrance has original artworks by Salvador Dalí and well-known Chinese artists. The apartments, a few of which have been decorated by Armani and Fendi, as well as Versace, lease for $7,000 to $17,000 a month — to high-level executives from companies like General Motors.

Those who buy an apartment here tend to be extremely wealthy, like Liu Yiqian, an eccentric Shanghai entrepreneur whom Forbes magazine says is worth about $540 million.

Mr. Liu, 47, got his start driving a taxicab in Shanghai but eventually made a fortune investing in the stock market. In an interview this week, he acknowledged owning hundreds of apartments in Shanghai (he said he could not remember exactly how many), including a 6,000-square-foot apartment in Tomson Riviera, which he bought in 2008 for about $11.5 million.

“I invest in properties,” Mr. Liu said, noting that he also collects art, antiques and jade. “I think in Shanghai in five to seven years the real estate prices will be even higher.”

As they try to modulate the market, local and central governments here are walking a thin line. Land sales were a major source of government revenue, raising about $234 billion last year, an amount equal to over a third of the cost of China’s half-trillion-dollar stimulus program.

Whether the country is in the middle of a bubble has become the subject of a debate. Some economists, like Nicholas R. Lardy at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, say the housing boom is being propelled by a huge urbanization push that is creating premium-priced houses.

Other analysts say prices are being propped up by greedy developers and government policies that are making housing increasingly unaffordable for the masses migrating to big cities.

Despite the fear of a bubble here, Mr. Tong said his prices were just right, particularly because of so much hidden wealth in China. The publicly listed company is controlled by his family.

“I have a friend,” he said. “She makes maternity clothes. Her company has 20 percent of the world’s market share, and they’re not even a listed company.”

Still, Tomson’s prices are soaring. The most recent apartment sold for about $2,300 a square foot. The average luxury apartment in Manhattan sold for just under $1,900 a square foot in the fourth quarter of 2009, according to Prudential Douglas Elliman real estate.

Indeed, for the price of a Tomson apartment in Shanghai, a buyer could easily purchase a 6,000-square-foot home in Los Angeles built by Frank Lloyd Wright and now for sale ($10.5 million), or a 52-acre site with a 22-room residence in New Canaan, Conn. ($24 million).

But a sales agent at Tomson Riviera says this is the future financial capital of the world, not the dying one.

“Look at this bronze door,” said Wang Yaodong. “That costs $50,000! Look at these Gaggenau appliances. They were made in Germany.” The glasses were imported from Belgium, the Jacuzzi from Italy. And don’t worry about losing your key, he said, “This lock can read the palm of your hand.”

三亚，你还是昨天的三亚吗？

从06年开始，几乎年年去三亚。我还记得刚到三亚凤凰机场，碰到出租车司机问的第一个问题是：“师傅，三亚一线海景房多少钱一平米？”这个地道的海南小伙子说：“三千左右啦，好贵的。”

那时候我跟某人对视一眼，就一个意思：海南房价多便宜，可惜我们没钱。

三亚亚龙湾金棕榈酒店

07年，我们碰巧遇到了川航搞活动，春节刚过成都飞三亚特价票（途中必须经停一个城市，任选）来回才900多，约上四个朋友一块儿，玩了7天，加上机票、房费、吃饭、租车自驾等等，两个人花了6000多。因为是第二次入住亚龙湾金棕榈，前台还特地把房间免费升级，送了一个生日果盘。多有人情味儿啊。

09年去了两次，年初和父母一起，在三亚朋友的别墅里住了12天，自己买菜做饭，还开车去了一趟海口，四个人花了8000多。年底单位组织活动，又去了一趟。带着同事们在三亚疯了4晚5天，住家庭旅馆，一个人花了3000不到。

之所以三番五次把年假消磨在三亚，是因为太喜欢碧海蓝天，太喜欢在沙滩上睡觉，太喜欢在没人的海滩上走走停停，在那里你真正能体会到，寂寞也是可以享受的。

没想到，从三亚回来没多久，房价就如同山呼海啸一般席卷而来。

我真的很想问问三亚政府部门，你们真的觉得自己就是国际旅游岛了吗？真的觉得自己够资格？碧海蓝天，水清沙幼是天赐的福分，你们是怎么对待大自然给予的厚爱，对待全国乃至全世界的游客对三亚的热情的？

美丽的大东海，欣赏落日最佳视角的三亚湾，海滩上可以随意放鞭炮，扔垃圾，越靠近渔港越脏。如今，就连豪华酒店成片的亚龙湾沙滩也不能幸免，上次居然在漂过来的海浪里发现了一只酒店一次性拖鞋。囧。。。。。。。

三亚湾海边的沙滩绿地俨然成为天然烧烤乐园

大东海沙滩浴场沙滩绿地成垃圾焚烧场

乱吐的槟榔汁脏了城市

三亚市区，到处都是红色的槟榔殘汁，搞不清的人还以为是吐血。第一次也是唯一一次去天涯海角，从大门口到天涯海角石头那里，一路碰到兜售的小贩，喋喋不休，喋喋不休。黑车司机比比皆是，各种各样的卡片一会儿塞一张给你，一会儿塞一张给你，上面有什么走私商品店，旅游指南，一日游报价，海鲜店，珍珠店。。。。。。不一而足。

如果说环境问题，闭上眼睛不看，它就不存在了，也行。但下面的问题却一定能碰到。

去年年底，我再次去了三亚，惊讶的发现，傍晚在三亚居然打不到车！如果说出租坐不到是因为这个时间三亚的司机集体交接班，那么人力三轮呢？也坐不了。这是从来没碰到过的情况，后来明白了原因何在。因为，我们的目的地不是那种宰人的海鲜店。

第一次，我们提着在第二市场买的海鲜蔬菜打车，全部被拒载。好不容易拦到了人力三轮，那位大姐都起步了，突然说你们是不是拿的海鲜？拿了海鲜还有菜我不去！同行的同事百思不得其解，后来好说歹说，她终于同意载我们去，可走到一大半的路还是把我们赶下来，让我们自己步行前往。

三亚友谊社区海鲜广场

第二次，我们要去友谊路海鲜广场。同样，被出租车全部拒载。几辆人力三轮车停在我们面前，态度殷勤说一块钱到目的地。同事都不相信有这么低的价格，还是都上了车。结果，这几位把我们拉到了友谊路口那几家海鲜店，说到了。幸好我还去过，招呼同事们都下车，给了一块钱走人。那几位人力三轮车师傅在后面大骂。

在明润10个人吃饭，花掉了1400

第三次，我们要去明润。这回好了，真是一块钱送达目的地，从碧海蓝天到明润，同事都说那么远怎么才一块钱。结果，在明润我们10个人吃饭，花掉了1400。要知道，07年明润在三亚港附近开分店的时候，要去那里，很多人力三轮车都拒载，那时候6个人在明润吃饭，也不过300来块而已。其中的奥妙何在，明眼人都知道。

我们要去海亚餐厅。三次被出租车全部拒载

第四次，我们要去海亚餐厅。第三次被出租车全部拒载，人力三轮就更不必说了。最后，我们不得不分头行动，公交车、摩托车，分批分次，从第一个人到最后一个人，中间间隔了一小时。

06年，我们去蜈之洲岛除了坐出租车没有第二选择，三年时间过去了，09年底去蜈之洲岛仍然如此

06年，我们去蜈之洲岛除了坐出租车没有第二选择，三年时间过去了，09年底去蜈之洲岛仍然如此。唯一的区别是，蜈之洲岛停车场修得像样了。这像是一个国家级风景旅游区的服务吗？

出租车去蜈之洲岛的价格简直让人眼花缭乱，有200包车的，也有分文不取的。200包车还说得过去，分文不取很奇怪吧？出租车师傅说了，只要在蜈之洲岛上潜水或者玩水上项目，报他的车牌号就可以打折，多少？8折。不但能打8折，来回还不收你的车费。如何？够吸引人不？可想而知，蜈之洲岛上的水上项目实际价值几何。

至于说第一市场的短称，有的海鲜排档赤裸裸宰人。。。。。。多的是网友描述，就不再写了。

据说海南即将成为东方夏威夷，请问东方夏威夷的旅游服务质量就是这样的？

再说到海亚高速，环岛驾驶的话，你会看到很多奇景。

你看到过高速公路上有牛吗？你看到过拖拉机在高速公路上逆向行驶吗？你看到过有人扛着锄头横穿高速吗？以上都是我在海亚高速看到的。

三亚的旅游部门、交通部门、还有相关的管理部门，都在干什么？不管是硬件还是软件，三亚需要改进的太多了。现如今，所有的缺点都被国际旅游岛的光环掩盖，投资客蜂拥而入。住宅房价和酒店房价跟海鲜一样，变成了时价，三亚，已经不再是我眼中的度假首选地。

喜欢在三亚湾看夕阳, 但，疯狂的三亚房价把我吓坏了

诚然，我喜欢它带着咸味的海风，喜欢独自赤脚走在海棠湾、香水湾、虎头湾的感觉，喜欢路上乡间大娘挑着槟榔担麻利裹槟榔的样子，喜欢菜市场卖虾大姐诚实的笑容，喜欢坐在三亚湾咖啡时间看夕阳，喜欢在亚龙湾一家接着一家逛酒店大堂，还喜欢去那些不知名的小海滩钓鱼钓虾，也喜欢帮着渔民拖网，但，疯狂的三亚房价把我吓坏了。在三亚买房子是不可能的了，酒店居然也要上万一天，相比之下，马尔代夫、普吉、巴厘岛显得多么亲民啊。

让海南的房价高入云端吧，像迪拜塔那么高。

有房地产开发商说，海南房产是高端的，奢侈的，所以房价还有上涨空间。好吧，升斗小民从2010年起就要告别三亚，告别海南了，因为我们怎么也和奢侈高端沾不上边，让海南的房价高入云端吧，像迪拜塔那么高。
