The Empty Dafeng Amusement Park, Jiangsu Province, China
The empty Dafeng Amusement Park, Jiangsu Province.
Reclaimed lands are commonly used to build residential/office buildings, amusement parks, zoos, and even aquariums. However, with low utilization rate, the disorderly expansion of these new buildings makes the city seem as spooky as a haunted city. It is a huge waste of resources.

江苏省盐城市空无一人的大丰游乐园
2017年10月22日。江苏省盐城市空无一人的大丰游乐园。沿海一些空城大多建造在围填海出来的土地上,现代化的写字楼、大型游乐场所、动物园甚至海洋馆几乎成了这些“海上”新城的标配。但无序扩展让这些新建的城市几近空城,配套设施利用率低。对于围填海中被吞噬的高保护价值湿地来说,是一种极大的资源浪费。

Land Reclamation Projects Threaten the Last Remaining Coastal Wetlands in China
The speed and scale of land reclamation is the primary threat to the environment of China's coastal wetlands. During land reclamation projects, huge changes take place in the local biodiversity and habitat of migratory birds and other species, but also for those fishermen communities who have been closely bound up with the coastal wetlands from generation to generation. The reclamation projects that are occupying the coastal wetlands illegally and the poor supervision of land use after the reclamation have caused great damage and threats to the natural coastal wetlands and local biodiversity.
To protect the 800 million mu (1mu=0.0006667km²) wetland in China and preserve the national ecological security, it is necessary to effectively delineate and implement the ecological protection “red line”, a set of ecological guidelines issued on February 2017 by Chinese central authorities that will declare certain regions under mandatory and rigorous protection.
