Regarding "tourism-healthy living" projects, the Huijing Yanhu International Resort, located near Hengyang Wild Goose Lake, is designed as an eco-tourism town, taking advantage of the natural greenery and the waterfront offered by Wild Goose Lake, offering destination to customers seeking cultural experiences and ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Effectively control of land acquisition and construction costs
Capitalizing on its experience in the Greater Bay Area and its proven strategy, the Group has been able to identify and acquire quality and cost-competitive land parcels. Firstly, it adopts a deep-plough strategy where it makes early investments in areas with significant growth potential before the land parcel of that area increases in value. Secondly, its focus on urban renewal projects enable it to acquire land in more urbanized areas at a relatively lower upfront cost, and also with less competition when compared to other methods of acquisition. Thirdly, it adopts a market selection strategy with a uniform land acquisition policy, which has enabled it to control investment risks when making land acquisition decisions. Fourthly, the social amenities (such as hotels, shopping outlets, etc.) that the Group introduces makes it more competitive when acquiring land compared to other competitive bidders who are only able to offer standardized developments, and therefore leads to lower acquisition costs. Further, such social amenities would tend to increase the value of the development as well as the future ASP of the project developed. The Group's land cost as a percentage of revenue decreased from approximately 13.4% for the year ended 31 December 2016, to 9.0% for the year ended 31 December 2018.
