Tianjin Dongli Lake

　　    Introduction   Dongli Lake is one of the eight major tourist attractions and seven natural reserves in Tianjin City. It has been designated by the municipal government as a tourism and holiday area in the Binhai New Area. Located in the eastern part of Tianjin, it is 24 kilometers from the city center, 30 kilometers from Tianjin Port, 19 kilometers from the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area, 10 kilometers from the exit of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu Expressway, 12.5 kilometers from Tianjin Binhai International Airport, and 7.5 kilometers from the Tianjin International Golf Club. Roads such as the Jinhan, Dongjin, Yangbei, and Jinbei all lead to the lake. The lake is abundant in over 20 types of aquatic products, including whitebait, pike-perch, crucian carp, soft-shelled turtle, river crab, and shrimp. Every year, more than 20,000 wild birds play and breed around the lake. The area is rich in geothermal resources, which are the source of the northern China geothermal belt. Currently, geothermal resources are used to support pollution-free vegetable and fruit bases, special aquatic product farming bases, and a mineral water plant producing 5,000 tons of "Di Yuan" brand mineral water annually.

　　　　In addition to providing heating for existing hotels and supporting facilities such as hot spring baths, there are also ample geothermal resources available for future development and construction. There are four hotels with a total area of 33,000 square meters, offering mid- to high-end guest rooms, conference rooms of various sizes, karaoke halls, saunas, swimming pools, bowling alleys, chess and card rooms, and other recreational facilities, with a total capacity of 600 guests at a time. There is also a parking lot covering 7,600 square meters that can accommodate over 400 large, medium, and small buses. Currently, the available activities include water flying, a series of water cable bridges, luxury yachts, speedboats, motorboats, bumper boats, remote-controlled boats, sailboats, pedal boats, and rowboats. Facilities also include a sandy swimming beach, a hot spring swimming pool, a massage pool, a four-lane water slide, and the Turtle Pavilion. In winter, activities such as ice sailing, ice carts, sleds, ice rafts, ice slides, ice skating, and winter fishing are offered. Dongli Lake is set to become a comprehensive tourist destination integrating leisure vacations, hot spring entertainment, gourmet shopping, conferences and training, business exchanges, and health and wellness.
