Three minutes to talk about popular science
Evergrande's 160 billion Ocean Flower Island has been regarded as China's "Little Dubai" since the beginning of reclamation. But when it started operating, the people who came to the island were dumbfounded, what is this **Dubai, there are not many people on the streets, what's going on?
Is it because it's not very famous?Or is it not luxurious enough?
In fact, since the reclamation of Evergrande Group in 2013, it has claimed to build the world's most luxurious artificial island, directly calling Dubai's Palm Island.
At that time, Evergrande had not yet had a crisis, it was still a giant in the real estate industry, and Boss Xu was still the celebrity who had been on the list of China's richest people for a long time.
Everyone is eagerly awaiting the completion of this "Little Dubai" in China.
From reclamation to the start of building construction to the completion of construction, every step of the construction process of Ocean Flower Island has been reported by **, which has also attracted many people to come and invest in real estate.
In its heyday, Ocean Flower Island had a record of 122100 million sales amount, an average of 3The Guinness World Record for selling a house in 2 seconds is a testament to its fame.
After talking about fame, let's talk about luxury. Although the buildings of Ocean Flower Island have appeared in the list of "China's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings" for many years, in the end it has smashed 160 billion, although it has been complained about being ugly, but luxury is really luxurious. Island No. 1 of Ocean Flower Island is an international tourist resort, Island No. 2 is a high-rise residential area with sea view, and Island No. 3 is a more luxurious villa area.
Among them, Island 1, as the main commercial place of Ocean Flower Island, is divided into 8 districts, which cover high-end hotels, theme parks, international shopping centers, ** halls, botanical gardens, hot spring cities and other projects.
Since it is luxurious and famous, why is Ocean Flower Island so unpopular?
First of all, the main reason is naturally Evergrande's debt crisis. Ocean Flower Island started trial operation on New Year's Day in 2021, and before that, Evergrande had been exposed to a debt scandal, and in December 2021, Evergrande Group publicly stated that there was a problem within the company that it could not repay its debts. As a result, many people did not dare to continue to buy real estate on Ocean Flower Island, and the owners who had previously completed the purchase also sold in tears, and some even offered a month's rent just to rent out their sea view houses. But even then, no one cared. After all, Ocean Flower Island is far away from the urban area, and the housing area is small, which is not convenient for migrant workers to travel, and it is not suitable for the elderly with migratory birds.
Secondly, the big environmental impact in the past few years has brought a "devastating blow" to the tourism industry of Ocean Flower Island, after all, the three years after the completion of Ocean Flower Island happened to be the "cold wave" of the national tourism industry. As a result, Ocean Flower Island has been devoid of tourists, and when the industry gradually "warms up", the heat of Ocean Flower Island has long been exhausted.
Finally, the stagnation of the development of Ocean Flower Island is also the reason for the lack of people. Although the early publicity was boiling, due to the economic crisis of Evergrande, the completed Ocean Flower Island is fundamentally a "buyer's show" and a "seller's show" compared with the promised Ocean Flower Island, not to mention competing with Palm Island, even compared with the old artificial island Phoenix Island in the same province. If it doesn't meet the specifications originally promised, how can anyone want to go.
In fact, because it is a huge reclamation project, it is bound to cause irreversible damage and serious pollution to the marine ecology. However, Evergrande "drilled" a loophole and split the construction project with a reclamation area of up to 12,000 acres into 36 sub-projects with an area of less than 27 hectares, so that the application was successfully approved.
On December 30, 2021, the Danzhou Municipal Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau ordered Ocean Flower Island to demolish its 39 illegal buildings, and the relevant approval personnel were also sentenced.
Ocean Flower Island has destroyed the ecology and failed to achieve the expected results, so it is reasonable that the popularity is sluggish!So, if you have the chance, would you like to check it out?
