Duping stain on Sanya

Statistics show that Hainan province received about 1.35 million tourists from home and abroad during Spring Festival, up 20.3 percent year-on-year. Sanya city alone played host to about 490,000 tourists who spent on average 2,150 yuan ($340) a day. But Hainan has many other facets to it than just Sanya and money, says an article in Southern Metropolis Daily. Excerpts:

Netizens, including some celebrities, have posted about 40,000 comments in just two days in response to a micro-blog that describes how a tourist was overcharged at a seafood restaurant in Sanya. The collective outburst seems to suggest that a person is more likely to be overcharged in a place like Sanya.
