Impressive, my country! The Three Gorges Dam truly amazed me

|||. The mighty river flows eastward, with its surging torrents; the great transformation of the Three Gorges has created a human marvel. Today, following the verses of the poet Li Bai, I took a cruise to see the Three Gorges Dam. After passing through the Wu Gorge, Qutang Gorge, and Xiling Gorge, and admiring the beautiful mountains on both sides, I finally stood before this national treasure. Why is the Three Gorges Dam considered a national treasure? There are mainly three types of dams in the world: for drinking water, power generation, and transportation. Our Three Gorges Dam not only combines all three but also plays a role in flood control. 🗓️Tour Tips: The Three Gorges Dam tourist area in Yichang, Hubei, started construction in 1994. It integrates flood control, power generation, navigation, and water resource utilization. It is the main project of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, the core landscape of the Three Gorges Dam tourist area, and one of the largest water conservancy hub buildings in the world today. ✔️Free to visit, real-name system for entry, but a tour bus ticket of 35 yuan is required. ✔️The entire scenic area is divided into three parts: Tanziling, the 185 Platform, and the Flood Diversion Memorial Park. ✔️There's no need to go to the highest point of Tanziling; it's crowded, and the lower platform is just as good for taking photos. ✔️Be sure to listen to the explanation in the sand table area below; it's educational and provides historical insight. ⚠️Special reminder, don't skimp on the 10 yuan; after leaving Tanziling, take an electric cart. Walking on your own is meaningless and tiring. ⛴️About the Cruise: The Chongqing-Yichang section is arguably the most famous and beautiful stretch of the Yangtze River Three Gorges. You can take the Liangjiang cruise. I took the Century Glory from Chongqing Chaotianmen, a super five-star experience, 4 days and 3 nights, Fengdu Ghost City - Zhong County "Three Kingdoms Smoke" - Fengjie White Emperor City - Wushan Goddess Creek - Yichang Three Gorges Dam. 📸Photography Tips: 1️⃣The advantage of a telephoto lens is evident here; the distant mountains are particularly beautiful in the mist. 2️⃣If the lighting conditions are good, it's recommended to set the aperture around f8-12. 3️⃣Pay special attention, drones are prohibited from flying, and you can't even bring them! I am Gala from the corner, an amateur photographer who likes to hit the road but somehow can't press the shutter properly~ ⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️ 📍Detailed address: San Dou Ping Town, Yiling District, Yichang City, Hubei Province 🚙Transportation: It is recommended to drive yourself or take a cruise for sightseeing. You can also take Yichang buses No. 4, 100, 10, 21, 34, 101, etc., to the Night Pearl station, walk about 100 meters to the No. 8 bus station, and transfer to the tourist line bus to directly reach the Three Gorges Dam.
