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.
如果你從西面飛抵海口,就能夠看到它。坐在飛機右側向窗外望去,它就在那裏。俯瞰之時,這片廣袤的狹長土地看上去並不怎麼樣——亂蓬蓬的綠色植被、一堆堆朦朧的火山岩、一條條雜亂無章的紅褐色土壤帶——但再過幾年,這裏將創造歷史。當地人用代號稱呼這片區域:791項目。不久後,它將以海南觀瀾湖(Mission Hills Hainan)的名字將爲大多數人所知——這將是世界上最大的高爾夫球場。
