County-level city (县级市)
Qionghai City
Home to Boao Lecheng — the medical pilot zone where treatments licensed abroad can reach patients in China first.
琼海市 · Part of Eastern coastal belt
Qionghai sits on Hainan's east coast and contains Boao, known internationally for the Boao Forum for Asia. Its commercial significance, though, rests on the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone.
Lecheng operates a policy found nowhere else in China: approved institutions inside the zone can use selected drugs and medical devices that are licensed overseas but not yet approved on the Chinese mainland. For pharmaceutical and device companies, that makes Lecheng a route to Chinese patients — and to Chinese clinical evidence — years ahead of ordinary registration timelines.
The zone's remit extends across specialist medical services, medical aesthetics and anti-ageing, rehabilitation, and stem-cell clinical research, and the province's investment programme for Qionghai is dominated by medical and biomedical projects.

How the incentives apply here
- Lecheng's early-access regime for overseas-licensed drugs and devices is a zone-specific policy, not an island-wide one. It applies to approved institutions operating inside the zone.
- Medical, pharmaceutical and health activities feature in the encouraged-industries catalogue governing the 15% corporate income tax rate.
- Import of medical equipment interacts with the island's zero-tariff regime, which materially affects the cost base of a clinical operation here.
Who this place suits
- Pharmaceutical and medical device companies seeking early Chinese market access
- Specialist clinics, medical aesthetics and rehabilitation operators
- Clinical research organisations
- Biomanufacturing and medical nutrition businesses
