On June 27, according to Baoting Convergent Media Center, a special program for

nearly 90,000 netizens across the country entered the broadcast room to

Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County is located in the central part of Hainan

original natural wonders such as peculiar peaks, hot springs and tropical rainforests.

During the live-streaming, in addition to the charming scenery in Qixianling,

rain forest, has also left a deep impression on many netizens. It is hailed by

many tourists as a good place to escape from busy work and find peace of mind,

as there is no hustle and bustle of city life. Whether it is the clear Biyu Lake,

the original tropical rainforest, or the freshwater jellyfish known as

the "giant panda in the water", are amazing.

Baoting is also permeated with customs of Li and Miao minority groups. The

live-streaming also introduced Binglanggu-Hainan Li & Miao Cultural Heritage

Park, which enabled netizens all over the country to appreciate the primitive

boat houses of Li nationality, cheerful Hainan Eight Tones performances and
