Another hotel houses striking antiques yet features an updated collection of modern Chinese art on its walls. China actually has a splendid mix of upscale as well as budget hotels to suit traveler requirements. Sanya is one example of a jewel tucked in one of China's tropical island provinces which has become home to both luxury hotels and budget accommodations with well-appointed facilities.
