🍃What if a city could breathe?
🏙️For World Cities Day, Baoting is showing what urban renewal looks like when it’s not about tearing down, but about letting a rainforest town live and grow. Housing, infrastructure, ecological restoration, green development, and the wellness industry — all moving together. In 2025, Baoting received 3.99 million visitors, with inbound tourists up 44.1%. A livable city makes for a pretty compelling travel destination. Would you come stay in a rainforest town that breathes?💫

🪪Hainan rambutan and durian just got legal "ID Cards!"
Starting November 1, these tropical fruits will be officially on China's National Agricultural Plant Variety Protection List. Baoting is the country's largest rambutan producer — and the birthplace of the "Baoyan No.7" variety. Now Baoting's sweet harvest comes with legal protection. Enjoy the rainforest, soak in hot springs, breathe deeply — come taste a rambutan with a legal "safety charm"! (P1: Pu Xiaoxu / Xinhua News Agency)

🥤Bitter medicine? Not anymore.
🍵Baoting just launched “Cha Fang” — a herbal tea brand where traditional Chinese medicine meets Li ethnic healing. Think rainforest herbs, slow-brewed for one hour using traditional methods, turned into nine hot blends and refreshing cold drinks. No additives, no bitter aftertaste. Just wellness you actually want to sip.
📍Find it at 108 Xinxing Road in Baoting town, or inside Binglanggu Li & Miao Cultural Tourism Zone.
Enjoy the rainforest, soak in hot springs, breathe deeply — and sip a cup of Baoting herbal tea.

🍃Fighting poverty by protecting the rainforest. That's the Baoting way.
On this International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, here's what that looks like: rambutan and passionfruit become freeze-dried products, generating 660 million yuan a year and lifting 6,600+ farming households. A new scenic road brings cyclists and road-trippers, letting villagers in Maogan Township earn from tourism without cutting a single tree. Keep the green, and the good life follows. So — would you rather taste rainforest rambutan or ride the rainforest road? Tell us in the comments. (Photo: Wang Zhi)

♨️Soaked in the hot springs? Now try horn cupping. At Baoting's Li Medicine Hospital, Li healing is no longer just legend. Herbal steam baths, herbal compresses, horn cupping, herbal-wine massage — these ancient rainforest therapies are now part of modern wellness. Here, heritage keepers turn knowledge once passed down by word of mouth into hands-on experiences you can actually book. Enjoy the rainforest, soak in hot springs, breathe deeply — and let Li medicine restore your body and mind. Hainan offers visa-free entry for 88 countries — say yes to Baoting.

🌾World Food Day: In Baoting, food security grows on trees, too. This year's theme is "Innovate today. Nourish tomorrow." And in this 18°N rainforest town, it's not just about rice. Rambutan, passionfruit, and durian thrive here. In 2025, Baoting's rambutan fields covered over 3,300 hectares and brought in 660 million yuan — putting more income in the pockets of 6,600+ farming households. A local freeze-dry factory turns fresh fruit into shelf-stable snacks, taking the rainforest's sweetness from raw material to global brand. Come to Baoting and taste sunshine and rainforest! Which tropical fruit would you reach for first? Tell us in the comments.

Since opening in December 2024, travelers have been cycling, road-tripping, and slow-living along it — sleeping in the rainforest, soaking in hot springs, breathing in the green. Come to Baoting.

🌟A thousand-year-old Li healing tradition that puts broken bones back where they belong. Li bone-setting therapy is one of the most iconic intangible cultural heritage practices of Li medicine. Using manual realignment, herbal compresses, and vine splints, Li healers treat fractures and sprains — techniques refined over generations and renowned for their results. In Baoting, this ancient wisdom is meeting the modern world: Li medicine has entered wellness centers, working alongside modern healthcare to offer visitors healing experiences found nowhere else.

💫In 2024, Hainan opened its first Li Medicine Hospital — right here in Baoting. Li ethnic medicine (bone-setting and snakebite therapies) is recognized as provincial intangible cultural heritage. Blending Li medicine with wellness, the hospital offers herbal steam baths, horn cupping, and herbal wine massages. A thousand-year-old healing tradition is thriving again, deep in the rainforest.

🍂If you're putting together an autumn travel list, Baoting is a solid entry.
📷You can paddle across Shenyu Island's lake, soak in Qixianling's hot springs, watch Li brocade weaving in Binglanggu, and explore the Yanoda rainforest. Listen to bamboo instruments, join a bamboo pole dance, admire Miao embroidery and batik, then sip rainforest tea at Hefang Teahouse. If you time it right, catch the Water Fun Festival or the "Sanyuesan" celebrations. And before you leave, take home rambutan, durian, and passionfruit — the sweetness of the rainforest.
Press play. This autumn, Baoting awaits!

🌕The Mid-Autumn Festival in Baoting follows its own schedule.
🧗Climb Qixianling before dark and wait for the moon clear the canopy — from the peak, the forest looks like a black ocean with silver tips. Soak in the hot springs and let the warm water wash away your fatigue — look up, and there's the full moon. In Binglanggu, families gather to hear the old story of the Gan Gong Bird, a Li legend about love and transformation.
🥮Mooncakes appear, but so do grilled fish, rice wine, and fruit from the backyard. The evening ends quietly. The forest absorbs most of the noise.

🤩You don't have to stay in the rainforest to enjoy Baoting. The town itself has two solid options.
Days Hotel & Suites runs a reliable hot spring pool and standard international rooms — good if you want predictability after a day of hiking.
🏨Vienna International sits closer to the bus station and the night market, with clean rooms and lower rates.
💫Both work well as base camps: you head out to the mountains in the morning, return for a shower and dinner, and sleep in a comfortable bed.

🍃Want to be closer to nature? Try these stays tucked inside Baoting's scenic spots!
At Shenyu Island Jade Hotel, your window opens onto the jade-green lake, and if you're lucky, you'll see a jellyfish pulse by in the morning light.
Yanoda Rainforest No.1 Resort Hotel puts you close enough to the streams that the sound replaces any need for a sleep app.
Bulongsai Resort Hotel is where you can hear roosters and experience Li & Miao village life.
Miaoshan Shuyan Homestay sits halfway up the mountain, and on clear mornings the clouds sit below the deck. Orchid Inn smells exactly like its name.
Yabulun Xiangshuigu Shared Farm has space for tents if you want to wake up on the ground which is great for families.
Hekou Shuyuan keeps a small library and stricter quiet hours than most.
Pick one, and turn your holiday into a poem.

♨️The hot springs at the foot of Qixianling are the real reason people stay in this part of Baoting. Most hotels here share the same water source — warm, mineral-heavy, and pumped directly into private or shared pools. This autumn, come soak your body and soul in Baoting's rainforest.

🍁Autumn in Baoting doesn't rush you.
⛰️The day might start with birdsong through the window at Qixianling, where the hot spring water runs warm. At Shenyu Island, the lake changes color with the sky. In Binglanggu's Li and Miao villages, chimney smoke rises and the world slows to a walk. It's the kind of place where you stop checking your phone not because you decided to, but because you forgot to. What does your ideal wellness retreat look like? Tell us in the comments!

😀A foreign traveler's jaw drops at Shenyu Island, Baoting
🍃Deep in Baoting's rainforest sits Shenyu Island Cultural Tourism Zone — 85% forest coverage, mountain lakes, thousand-year-old lychee trees, and tree fern groves. If you're lucky, you might even spot the rare freshwater jellyfish known as the "giant panda of the water." This isn't a hotel. It's living inside a painting.
