Bobai was the home town of the linguist Wang Li, who described the Bobai dialect with its unusually large number of tones.

Transportation

The county is served by the Yulin–Tieshangang Railway. The railway opened for freight service in May 2015. Passenger service to the new Bobai Station will start on April 1, 2016.[1]

Contestation and protests

In May 2007, Bobai was the site of large protests held by local people against China's one-child policy,[2] 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.[3]

Climate

gollark: For the rogue/warrior/mage one, say, you can define all of it in terms of Cartesian X/Y or your apious space-filling curve, but it's convenient if you treat it as three separate levels of mageness, warriorness and rogueness which add to 1 or something.
gollark: But, like with cubical coordinates for hex grids, the third dimension is more convenient when doing some things.
gollark: They don't have three... I think the word is linearly independent dimensions, no.
gollark: Initiating orbital dimensionality reduction strike against Fiona.
gollark: The triangles could reasonably be considered 0 (not actually linear axes), 1 (just one... unit of data?), 2 (they exist in 2D) or 3 (they can vary in three directions, but not freely).
