## About Boao Forum for Asia Permanent Venue Scenic Area

There is no doubt that it was the Boao Forum for Asia that made Boao famous overnight. But if you think Boao is only about politics and economics, you would be missing a great deal. Here, where a river meets the sea, you will find one of the world’s most beautiful river-mouth landscapes, and the town is known as the “Water Town.” The Wanquan River flows into the sea right here. The Yudai Beach is also a must-visit. Its landform is unique in Asia: you may see the sea surging on one side while the river on the other side remains perfectly calm.
