Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line is one of the express-ways which connect Kawasaki, Kanagawa and Kisarazu, Chiba. It is the crossing bay highway made by the underwater tunnel and the bridge. The Aqua-Tunnel is 9.6 km and starts in Kawasaki. At the connection of the tunnel and the bridge, there is a huge artificial island called Umi Hotaru.

If you can't afford to buy your own tropical island paradise, why not build your own? That is exactly what Richie Sowa did back in 1998, using over a quarter-million plastic bottles. His Spiral Island, destroyed years later by a hurricane, sported a two-story house, solar oven, self-composting toilet and multiple beaches. Better yet, he has started building another one! What's his ultimate goal? He wants to make the island bigger and bigger and finally float out to sea, traveling the world from the comfort of his own private paradise.

Mexcaltitán is a small man-made island-city off the coast in the Mexican state of Nayarit. Legend has it that it was the Aztlan of the Aztecs, their home city and birthplace from which they set out on their pilgrimage in 1091 that led them to the founding of Tenochtitlan.
 
This island is now being promoted as a tourist attraction and has been designated a "Pueblo Magico" by the federal government. It is accessible by boat from La Batanza, which is the docking area located some 40 kilometers from Santiago, Ixcuintla.

The World Islands project is a group of about 300 man-made islands, an artificial archipelago constructed in the shape of a map of the world located about 6 km off the coast of Dubai, UAE, covering an area of about 55 sq km. The master developer is Nakheel Properties, a subsidiary of the Dubai Government owned Dubai World conglomerate.
 
The luxurious "Royal Island Beach Club" was the FIRST island on the spectacular "The World" project to open its shores to the public on Lebanon Island recently, offering travelers and visitors an unimaginable and unforgettable experience that is not to be missed, being among the first to offer a most remarkable view of the skyline of the new and modern Dubai from the World Islands.
