Bobai was the home town of the linguist Wang Li, who described the Bobai dialect with its unusually large number of tones.
Bobai County is divided into 28 towns:[1]
The county is served by the Yulin–Tieshangang railway. The railway opened for freight service in May 2015. Passenger service to Bobai railway station started on April 1, 2016.[2]
In May 2007, Bobai was the site of large protests held by local people against China's one-child policy,[3] and triggered the protest in Yangmei, Rongxian.
The small office of a grassroots NGO for sex workers' rights was ransacked and its leader Ye Haiyan was also attacked.[4]
