Ocean Flower Island: What is China’s answer to Dubai – and will it ever be finished? – The National

It has been called China’s Dubai — a huge, glitzy island city devoted to leisure and pleasure.

Ocean Flower Island is said to be the world largest artificial island, at one and a half times the size of The Palm Jumeirah, but it is actually three separate islands linked by causeways.

The project opened in 2020 after 12 years of construction and cost $25 billion (Dh88 billion).
