Phoenix Island

Phoenix Island (simplified Chinese: 凤凰岛; traditional Chinese: 鳳凰島; pinyin: Fènghuáng Dǎo), dubbed the Oriental Dubai,[1][2] is an artificial archipelago consisting of two landmasses forming an island resort in Sanya, Hainan Province, China.

The original concept design and master plan for the island was developed by Leisure Quest International, LLC (USA).

The design development of the project was undertaken by Beijing architectural firm MAD Studio, who won the contract in 2007,[3] total investment in the project exceeds 3 billion RMB (approximately $464 million).
