The group of islands was built by the Evergrande Group.

The artificial archipelago off the coast of Danzhou is made up of three islets with a total area of 381 hectares.

A local politician, who was later convicted of corruption charges, approved the reclamation project despite it conflicting with environmental laws.

Building the archipelago damaged coral reefs and oyster populations.

In December last year, about 40 buildings were demolished because they flouted planning regulations.

Evergrande said the demolitions would not affect further development on the islands.
