After the first phase of Erhai International Eco-city was sold out, the second phase will officially be launched on January 22, 2011. On this peninsula surrounded by sea on three sides, there are 400 mu (about 66 acres) of ecological wetlands, a 680-mu ecological health complex, a 260-square-kilometer clear water surface, a 3.3-kilometer coastline, a historical and cultural heritage of over 1200 years, nearly ten thousand negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter to keep lungs comfortable, and an average humidity of 56% making it feel like doing aerobic yoga every day. Most importantly, the price of such luxurious sea-view apartments is only one-fourth of similar properties in Hainan, quickly becoming a new investment wealth hotspot. Within just a few days of its launch, more than 600 customers rushed to purchase the apartments. When asked for the reason, 80% of the customers said: as a gift for their parents during the Spring Festival.
Ms. Zhang, who works at a bank in Kunming, has her own solution for choosing the best investment channel while ensuring her family lives comfortably. After comparing numerous investment products, she decisively chose the Erhai International Eco-city. Undoubtedly, without solid reasons, rational investors like Ms. Zhang would not be swayed.
**For Parents' Retirement**
Ms. Zhang believes that the urban environment is unsuitable for retirement, especially as her parents grow older, where the environment becomes the biggest concern. In Dali, however, it's spring all year round, with 400 mu of ecological wetlands. The near ten thousand negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter can promote aerobic circulation in the elderly, and the temperature and humidity by the sea provide the best environment for health preservation. Purchasing a sea-view apartment is not only about fulfilling filial piety but also hoping that her parents live healthier lives for another 20 years.
**For Personal Vacations**
Ms. Zhang has been married for many years and has always been busy with her career. As her career develops steadily, she and her husband particularly value each holiday. She reviewed many vacation products and ultimately concluded that Dali stands out. In the future, it will take only two hours from Kunming to Dali. After work, she can go to Dali to enjoy the sea, allowing her and her husband to spend weekends enjoying life by Erhai Lake, as if they were on their honeymoon every day.
**Safe Preservation Against Inflation**
As a senior professional in the banking industry, Ms. Zhang places great emphasis on the preservation and appreciation of her family's assets. Especially during inflationary periods, nothing preserves value better than vacation properties. She is very optimistic about the future popularity of vacations in Dali. Owning a sea-view apartment allows personal vacations, health preservation for her parents, rental income, and taking advantage of the low cost now is the best choice against inflation.
**Balancing Family and Career**
Although Ms. Zhang's child is still young, as a mother, she started considering family wealth inheritance early. A sea-view apartment occupies rare mountain and water resources, with automatic renewal of 70-year property rights. Once her child grows up, she plans to pass it down, letting the ocean-view luxury residence be passed through generations. Additionally, Ms. Zhang emphasizes that social relationships are wealth. Once owning such a high-end private club, she can invite clients, business partners, leaders, and colleagues to enjoy seaside vacations together in Dali, easily building social networks. The wealth center of the Erhai International Eco-city Peninsula has helped her career advance three levels. Such a good residence naturally must be purchased.
