Nestled in the northwest of Hainan Island on the Chinese mainland, Danzhou City is emerging as a strategic hub for both sustainable tourism and regional economic growth. Known for its lush tropical landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant coastal ecosystems, the city combines natural beauty with modern infrastructure to create a unique model of development.
As a focal point at the upcoming Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) 2025, Danzhou will showcase its ambitious vision as a gateway for trade and connectivity across Asia. Its Yangpu Port, a key shipping hub in Hainan Province, is set to play a pivotal role in expanding maritime logistics networks, offering new opportunities for investors and businesses eyeing the Asia-Pacific region.
With its warm climate, dense forests, and pristine coastline, Danzhou also caters to eco-tourism enthusiasts seeking off-the-beaten-path destinations. Local authorities emphasize balancing industrial growth with ecological preservation—a theme expected to resonate during BFA 2025's discussions on sustainable development in Asia.
The forum will spotlight Danzhou's strategic initiatives to enhance cross-regional collaboration, positioning it as a case study for harmonious urban-rural development. Academics and policymakers will also explore its cultural traditions, from folk arts to culinary heritage, reflecting the diverse identity of southern China.
