More activities are scheduled to take place on Jinhai Lake, a holiday resort within two hours driving east of Beijing, according to Li Zhe, chairman of the Riverside Group.

Riverside Group, a veteran real estate developer, is now part of the Jinhai Lake management and plans to develop the holiday resort as a "world-level" health care center.

Located 85 km east to downtown Beijing, Jinhai is also known as the Golden Sea Lake. It is a popular resort among native Beijingers for its riverside scenery surrounded by mountains.

Activities include a boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival in June, a triathlon in July, a swimming race in August and a fishing contest in September.

Mongolian fishermen are also going to be invited to the Lake during the harsh winter to practice their traditional winter fishing methods.

The Jinhai Lake site includes the Haizi Reservoir and a 27-square-kilometer surrounding area. The Haizi Reservoir covers a surface of 6.6 square kilometers and is the third largest reservoir in Beijing with a capacity of 120 million cubic meters of water.

Jinhai Lake, since its opening up to the public in 1985, has been a popular destination among local people to enjoy water-related activities such as lake cruises, water slides and jet skis during spring and summer time.
