China Daily | Updated: 2007-09-11 07:17

XINING: The northwestern province of Qinghai will introduce tough new measures to protect the environment around Qinghai Lake, the country's largest saltwater lake.

Under a new plan for tourism development around the lake, which is expected to be enacted next year, permanent buildings including hotels, restaurants and tourism service facilities will be relocated to an "accommodation zone" at least 3 km away from the southern bank of the lake, Jetik Majil, vice-governor of Qinghai, said.

"We will closely monitor projects currently under construction, and a number of existing hotels and restaurants will be demolished," he said.
