Ocean Flower Island

Ocean Flower Island (Chinese: 中国海花岛), or Sea Flower Island, is an under-construction, artificial archipelago located off the north coast of Danzhou, Hainan, China, west of the Yangpu Peninsula. The project, being built by the Evergrande Group, will consist of three independent islets with a total area of 381 hectares (940 acres).[1][2][3][4][5] The project has received an investment of 160 billion RMB (US$24 billion) and was scheduled for completion in 2020. Hainan politician Zhang Qi, who was later convicted of corruption, approved land reclamation for the island in conflict with environmental protection laws. The construction of the island caused damages to coral reefs and oyster populations. The boundaries of the environmental protection area around the island were later restored.[6] During the 2021 National Day, the island attracted over 200,000 visitors.[7]
