but your link you provided didn't show grass already planted on the (south) eastern side of the harbor
Unless you want to use the hangars for some other purpose while building the airfield.

True, I was just saying that our photos were in fact the same photo (same date) if you take a look at the same small cloud formation on the left side, just that your photo showed more vertically (has more southern part).

A Chinese archaeological team has embarked on its journey to excavate a shipwreck near Shanhu Island in the Xisha archipelago in the South China Sea, local authorities said on Monday.
The 25-strong team left Qinglan Port, Wenchang City, Hainan Province, on Sunday for its 45-day research mission, according to the provincial cultural heritage administration.
This is the second notable landmark underwater archaeological excavation in the South China Sea following the Huaguang reef number one shipwreck in 2008 in the Xisha Islands, where a vessel loaded with porcelain sank more than 700 years ago.
The team will also carry out an underwater survey on another sunken ship around Jinyin Island in Xisha, said the spokesman.
The sites contain a substantial amount of stone building material and carvings dating back to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
The Shanhu Island site, which is 2,000 meters from the island itself, covers about 20,000 square meters, with the water depth ranging from two to seven meters. Another site, which is 2,500 meters from Jinyin Island, covers about 45,000 square meters, at a depth ranging from three to nine meters.
As of last year, China had discovered more than 120 shipwrecks around Xisha, Nansha and Zhongsha islands.

There seems to be a new campaign of Chinese land grabbing in South China Sea propaganda in the western media lately. I've read like 6-7 articles about these reclamation projects by China the last two weeks or so. And all of them are very one sided and bias towards China.
And the new pics posted by A.man today are the best quality so far. Thank you for the nice high quality pics, but these photos might soon becoming new ammunitions for China threat in South China sea again.
