Empty beaches and small villages

---

Hi All,

I travelled onto the east coast of Hainan to Bo'ao. It is home to the Bo'ao Asian Forum, a meeting of officials, academics and economists from all over Asia.

After dropping my bags off at the hotel I went off for a walk around. There are some really pretty little villages almost in Bo'ao itself. Again it's strange seeing the Chinese style in this setting. I then went off to the beach where I saw an incident. There were some guys swimming in the sea, quite near to the beach, when I first arrived. I went for a little stroll further up the beach and was sat looking over the ocean. I could then hear some cries and as I looked over to my right i could see these two guys crying for help and obviously in trouble. A boat quickly went out to them, fortunately, and managed to drag them aboard. As I walked back the fishermen were really having a go at these two guys.

Second day I spent on the beach where there was almost no one. Really beautiful sea and beach and a smashing little place. I really enjoyed my short time here.

Enjoy the photos

Jah Bless
