If you're still thinking of getting to Sanya (which has often been touted as the Hawaii of China) for that long-awaited getaway, you might very well change your mind after you see this video. Some Chinese guys on holiday in Sanya were disappointed to find out that it wasn't only not all that it was cracked up to be, it was also very dirty and polluted. Armed with a digital camera, they took down everything that they saw. They found a leak in the sewer pipe of a certain five-star hotel which released untreated sewage water into the ocean and a foul stench into the air. The waters are murky, the corals have died and nothing is living in it anymore. At the end of the clip, the video makers entreat local authorities to do something about the situation. We wonder if anything will be done at all if no names were named? Or will their eyes finally be opened only when the pollution inflicts a severe damage on Sanya's tourism market and people's livelihoods are hurt?
Sanya, the dream holiday destination?

is anything pristine in china anymore? it seems like the entire country has been spoiled.
