Brief information on Three Gorges Dam

Located at Sandouping Town, 27 miles upstream from Yichang City, and 38km downstream from the Gezhouba Dam, Three Gorges Dam will be the largest hydroelectric dam in the world when it is completed in the year of 2009. The whole project will last for 17 years from 1993. Though it is such a huge project, most of the natural travel resources and attractions there are not damaged. Other than that, the Three Gorges Dam travel zone, centered on the Three Gorges Dam, has five sections to show the hydroelectric project knowledge, natural scenery in three gorges, cultures and customs with an area of 15.28 square km.
The travel zone, located in 262.48 meters above the sea level, is the best position to have a bird’s-eye view of the project’s panorama. Not only can you appreciate the magnificence of the project, but also can you see the forth gorges with erecting cliffs. There is a three-floor exhibition hall to show the whole project with miniature models. Besides, there are also some fountains, waterfalls, streams, lawns, which makes the travel zone a wonderland. Stepping on the top of the 185-meter high dam, you can overlook the roaring torrent sluicing downward, which is just under your feet, and you will feel the grandeur of the surge. But when you lift up your eyes, you will see the calm river level, which is just like a huge mirror. The dramatic contrast in front of you will strengthen your belief, that is, man’s determination can conquer the nature.
