No 6 Sanya

Sanya in South China's Hainan province imposed home buying restrictions in 2011.

Before that, major buyers in this coastal city, which has a pleasant tropical climate, were non-locals.

In the first half year, a total of 8,710 residential apartments were traded in Sanya, down by 17.85 percent year-on-year. The average price of these apartments was 23,800 yuan per square meter, still up by 3.71 percent year-on-year, according to focus. cn, a real estate information provider.

Rumor has it that non-locals who can pay the full price in cash can buy apartments in districts where home buying restrictions are still in place.
