Boao - 'forum town'

File photo taken in May 2003 shows a bird's-eye view of the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) International Conference Center in Boao, south China's Hainan Province. Boao, once a nameless fishing port, has been known as a "forum town" after it became the seat of the annual conference of the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) in 2002 and various kinds of business forums since then.
