Question

What do you know about Hainan? Besides (除了) its warm sunshine, golden beaches and blue seas, the province has some other interesting features.

China’ s southernmost city

If you are bored of Hainans more popular tourist cities, such as Sanya and Haikou, you may want to go to Sansha instead. Sansha is China’s southernmost city. It includes many small islands, sandbanks and reefs in the Xisha, Zhongsha and Nansha island groups. Since Sansha was established in 2012, a hospital, a library and a movie theater have been built on Yongxing.

The “migratory birds”

Migratory birds fly from the north to the south in winter. In China, a group of people are also referred to as “migratory birds”. Every year, from October to April, people from all over China go on holiday to Hainan to enjoy the warm weather and fresh air. Most of them are elderly people from northern China, especially Northeast China. According to the Hainan local government, more than million elderly choose to spend their winter in Hainan each year. These elderly “migratory birds” also encourage younger family members to join them on the sunny island.

A famous forum (论坛)

People in other countries might not know about Hainan, but they probably know about Boao. Boao, a town in Hainan, became Chinas first permanent (永久的) site for hosting international meetings in 2001. Every year in April, the Boao Forum for Asia, a nongovernmental international organization, hosts its annual meetings. Officials, business people and experts from different countries come to boao to discuss economic issues.

The forum has been important for the development of Asian cities. Hainan and boao have both benefited (收益) greatly from hosting the meetings. More restaurants and hotels have been built, creating more jobs for locals. An airport was opened in 2016. The forum has helped Hainan build itself into an international tourist attraction.
