If you are flying into Haikou from the west, you can see it. Sit on the right-hand side of the aircraft and look out of your window. It's there. Viewed from above, this vast swathe of land may not look like much – fuzzy green vegetation, shadowy pockets of volcanic rock, incongruous veins of reddish brown soil – but in a couple of years it will make history. Locals refer to this area by its code name: Project 791. Soon, most people will know it as Mission Hills Hainan, the largest collection of golf courses in the world.
如果你从西面飞抵海口,就能够看到它。坐在飞机右侧向窗外望去,它就在那里。俯瞰之时,这片广袤的狭长土地看上去并不怎么样——乱蓬蓬的绿色植被、一堆堆朦胧的火山岩、一条条杂乱无章的红褐色土壤带——但再过几年,这里将创造历史。当地人用代号称呼这片区域:791项目。不久后,它将以海南观澜湖(Mission Hills Hainan)的名字将为大多数人所知——这将是世界上最大的高尔夫球场。
