Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County

The area has been referred to as Baoting ({{Lang-zh|c=保亭|p=Bǎotíng}}) since at least the Ming dynasty. Baoting was first incorporated as a county in 1935.

Baoting fell under control of the People's Liberation Army in February 1948.

Baoting has a tropical monsoon climate (Köppen Am). During the winter, the average high temperature exceeds 26°C (78.8°F) and the rainy season is long. Because it is blocked by Wuzhishan Mountain, cold air cannot easily invade. The climate is warm all year round. The Qixianling Forest Park within the territory has given birth to large areas of tropical mountainous region al rainforest.
