All this talk of China and Brazil, comes ahead of the third BRICS Leaders Meeting at the beach resort of Sanya, in Southern China's Hainan province. The BRICS represent the world's largest and most populous emerging economies - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The tourist destination will soon become a focus of world attention.

The sun always shines in Sanya with sand, palm trees and plenty of tourists in what is China's main tropical playground.

But with empty streets and emptier beaches, it can only mean that the BRICS Leaders Meeting is rolling into town.
