National Geographic didn't lie to me: The Three Gorges Museum is seriously underrated.

The first underwater museum I ever saw was the Three Gorges Museum in Zigui County, Yichang City. It perfectly recreates the appearance of Guizhou County before the relocation, which is now forever submerged at the bottom of the Yangtze River. Its creative presentation is visually stunning. The old objects reminded me of visiting my grandmother's house as a child, with the winter hearth room full of cured meat, the kettle hanging on the iron hook, sometimes roasting potatoes and cooking sweet potatoes, the pigsty under the stilted building, the large terraced fields under the house, and the golden wheat fields. It was beautiful. I was shocked when I saw an 18.8-meter-long dragon boat, and it was the first time I had seen a dragon boat up close. Visiting museums is the best way to teach children about history. The entire museum is grand and magnificent. I took photos outside in the sun. Across from the museum is Muyu Island and the Three Gorges Dam. What impressed me most was the migration wall. Thousands of names of Three Gorges migrants are engraved on the wall. They gave up their homes and left their hometowns for the sake of national construction. Each stroke embodies their dedication and resilience. However, there is also unspeakable bitterness behind the migration. The museum displays many old objects that tell the story of the migrants' past lives. A worn-out wooden box and a rusty sickle carry their longing for their hometown. When I walked to the model of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, I was amazed by its grandeur. It is not only a power generation facility but also a project that benefits the people. It prevents floods and droughts, facilitates shipping and irrigation, and improves the lives of people in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. After visiting the Three Gorges Museum, I gained a deeper understanding of the significance of the Three Gorges Dam. It is a testament to the unity and perseverance of the Chinese people and a symbol of the selfless dedication and national construction of the Three Gorges migrants. On the way back, I drove the ID6X through the green mountains and rivers. The car's excellent range and intelligent configuration allowed me to enjoy the journey and appreciate the magnificent scenery of the Three Gorges. It's hard to leave one's homeland, but they had to. Photos captured the scenes of the Three Gorges migrants leaving their homes, bringing tears to my eyes. Home is where the heart is. The relocated migrants should have integrated into the local life long ago, but their hometown is forever submerged at the bottom of the river, becoming a place they long for but can never return to.
