The Central Plains, the province of Nanyu[1].
Inside a travel agency of a third-tier city, a couple was sitting on a couch, reading the prices off a list. They were students of a local university and had spotted the travel agency at random while out for shopping today. They decided to come in to have a look.
With the approaching winter vacation, they thought they could go on a trip and have a bit of "pre-Spring-Festival hookup" while they were at it.
"Let's go to Nanzhong, it's warm there," suggested the young man.
"It's a bit expensive—5000 yuan[2] for a four-flight trip. Don't you have anything cheaper?" The young woman seemed rather sensible.
"There is an ongoing strict inspection and all cheap shopping tours are cancelled. Only the deluxe tours are open for booking at the moment. They cost more, but the food and accomodation are excellent.There is absolutely no arranged shopping destinations and the safety is guaranteed," explained the agency owner with a smile.
