About Bo'ao Forum
Visitors come for the conference setting and the story of a small Hainan town becoming an international meeting place. It is a working event venue, so sightseeing access depends on the conference calendar and security arrangements. Distinguish this permanent complex from the forum’s earlier site and from the wider town when booking a visit.
What to look for
- The permanent conference complex and its international-forum interpretation.
- Dongyu Island’s landscaped river and estuary setting.
The surrounding area
Eastern base for Jiaji food and Tanmen's maritime museum and fishing-town setting.
