Hainan Island was considered so remote from Beijing that it became known as 'The End of the Earth'. But Hainan today has become China's most popular tropical tourist destination. With year-round sunshine, temperatures hovering around 25 degrees centigrade and fabulous white-sand beaches, it is often known as 'China's Hawaii'.

With clear blue waters and white sand beaches along its south edge, lush green mountains to the north and palm trees just about everywhere, Sanya is truly a tropical paradise with endless sun, fun and exciting activities for visitors.

Of particular note is Yalong Bay National Resort, a pleasant 20-minute drive from Sanya City, with superb golf and aquatic sports overlooking a world-class beach.

The Forum will be held at the Sheraton Sanya Resort in Sanya, a five-star hotel selected as “the Official Resort of Miss World” for three consecutive years.
