What travelers say:
In August, I arrived in Yichang, Hubei. This is mainly a scenic spot related to the Three Gorges. It is very shocking to take a bus to the Three Gorges Dam. There are two dikes, one large and one small. There is an observation deck. The photo location is very good, but the dam cannot go up.

The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze RiverThe Three Gorges Project officially commenced on December 14, 1994, and the main body of the Three Gorges Dam was completed on May 20, 2006. The project was finished in October 2008, and on November 1, 2020, the Ministry of Water Resources and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly announced that the Three Gorges Project had completed all the procedures for overall completion acceptance, marking the full completion of the construction tasks of the Three Gorges Project.

Yichang self-driving two-day tourNanny-level strategy!. 💫I stayed at the Kerry Select River View Hotel on the night, next to Wanda. Many hotels play the "river view" feature. The front desk service of this hotel is particularly worth mentioning, their enthusiasm and politeness make me feel warm💞. When asking them to send items, the interaction is full of friendly greetings, and there will be no embarrassment at all. The price is affordable, and you can drive in and out for free all day until 11:45 the next morning. If it is overdue, you only need to ask the front desk to swipe the card, which is convenient and easy! To the Cool Gallery, Three Gorges Dam, Three Gorges People, all within 1 hour's drive, the scenery along the way is unparalleled😍. 💫However, be aware! The Three Gorges Waterfall has been closed due to recent heavy rains, and we still cannot enter after buying tickets😫. Please be sure to call the scenic spot or pay attention to its public account to inquire about the opening situation before going. 💫As for the Cool Gallery, we chose Line B, with a total price of 135 yuan/person, including tickets and boat tickets. After climbing the mountain to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains, then take a boat back, easy and joyful😂! We arrived at more than 2 pm and took the boat at 4 pm, which was convenient and fast. Warm reminder: The last boat is at 4:30 in the afternoon, don't miss it. Line B can climb mountains and take boats, recommended👍. 💫Before going to the Three Gorges Dam, don't forget to apply for a vehicle pass on the public account, otherwise it will be very troublesome to get off halfway😓. I made an appointment in advance, and it was basically released immediately as soon as a batch was opened. Note that the post is guarded by armed police, do not take pictures, otherwise you will be seriously questioned and checked. 💫The Three Gorges Dam has clear road signs to guide tourists to the bus transfer center. Don't be fooled by the roadside cattle. They will guide you off the right path and recommend buying high-priced tickets. We chose a ticket for 65 yuan, which can take the scenic area bus. You can also choose to take an electric car, the price is reasonable but shorter, walking is also good, about 15 minutes🚶♂️. The place to buy tickets is not far away, and you can feel more fun by exploring on your own, study more strategies, and avoid unnecessary expenses. 💫For dinner, we tasted Wang's cold shrimp, which tasted okay. But if you are not in love with this kind of food, you may not be able to notice the difference between its cold shrimp and others. Enjoy food in "Daijie Restaurant", simple but delicious, overall full and return. Pepper chicken🍗, scrambled eggs with leeks🥚, beef offal hot pot🥘, stir-fried amaranth🥗, fat intestine silk, all down only 252 yuan. A big highlight is that the business is booming. If you come late, you may need to wait. It is recommended to reserve a seat in advance to free up space. Don't forget to park your car on the side of the road🚗.MONICA RODGERS

Qutang Gorge From here begins the most beautiful part of the entire journey, be sure to go up on deck to view the scenery. The cruise ship passes through Wu Gorge, past the Goddess Peak, with continuous green mountains on both sides, peaks like a screen. As the ship sails through the gorge, sometimes the mountains block the way, seeming to leave no path; suddenly the peaks turn, the clouds part, and there's another sky, like a winding and twisting gallery, giving a sense of a fairyland. When night falls, there's also a wonderful staff performance on the cruise ship, not to be missed. D4 Fengdu Ghost City, Fengjie Baidi City Visit the 'Poetry City' Baidi City, where Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, the paragons of loyalty through the ages, made their final arrangements for the care of their children, and also check in at the location of the 10 yuan note background - Kui Gate.

Yichang is truly a breathtaking place, I regret not coming here until this yearYichang is obscure yet beautiful, brimming with the breath of life, with low living costs and a slow pace of life.

Of course, there are many more fun places around, and if time permits, you can go and have funRelaxationHolidays
I had the fortune to visit the Three Gorges Dam, both on its surface and insideI once had the opportunity to visit the Three Gorges Dam on and inside. I took a cruise from Chongqing to Zigui Port, then drove to the Three Gorges. The Three Gorges Dam was not as massive as I had imagined, but its length was very long, and I saw several large units inside. I also saw how cargo ships and passenger ships passed through the power station, and how a 3000-ton cargo ship was lifted by machinery... It was truly an eye-opening experience. The ship we were on was the Gold 1, the space in the rooms was not as large as in hotels, and the bathrooms were also quite small, especially the bedding was very damp, but the scenery along the way was really stunning! If you have time, you can go and experience it for yourself.Scarlett_Rainthorn

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.NINA CUMMINGS

Really, do I need to go through security check to visit the Three Gorges Dam?There are three viewing points open to tourists in the Three Gorges Dam tourist area: Tanziling, 185 Platform, and the Stream-Cutting Memorial Park. So how to visit correctly and save time? There are generally two ways to visit: 1. Independent travel. Drive or choose other means of transportation to reach the scenic spot. Among them, self-driving tourists need to apply for a pass at the reception station with relevant documents according to regulations when driving into the Three Gorges dedicated road. 2. Three Gorges cruise ship, the project included in the cruise ship includes the Three Gorges Dam tourist area. Now let's talk about the overall visit process: First of all, the ticket, the Three Gorges Dam tourist area is a free scenic spot, there is no ticket fee, tourists only need to pay for their own transportation and sightseeing car fees (round-trip transportation car 35, sightseeing car 30). 1. This is due to the special nature of the dam scenic spot, no matter which way you enter, you need to change to the tourist center's round-trip bus to go to the core scenic spot. 2. Similarly, here, security checks will be conducted on tourists, and some items that are not allowed to be brought in can be stored in the tourist center, and can be picked up after the tour is over. First stop: Tanziling. Tanziling is the highest point overlooking the Three Gorges Project. When you climb to the 5A-level tourist scenic spot Tanziling viewing point, you can overlook the entire Three Gorges Project and experience the heroic feelings of the poem 'Cut off Wushan clouds and rain, high gorges out of Pinghu'. Second stop: 185 Platform. As the name suggests, it is because the dam is 185 meters high. From Tanziling to the 185 platform, you can walk there in about fifteen minutes, or you can choose to take an electric car for 10 yuan; looking down from the 185 platform, you can feel the greatness and pride of the Chinese nation and enter the near-dam viewing point, where you can feel the majestic and magnificent dam at close range. Third stop: Stream-Cutting Memorial Park. Come to the Stream-Cutting Memorial Park to appreciate the perfect combination of man and nature, as if you are in the beautiful scenery of 'mountains and rivers connected, heaven and man united'. The Stream-Cutting Memorial Park is the first domestic water conservancy project theme park with the theme of the Three Gorges Project's stream-cutting, integrating sightseeing, popular science, leisure and other functions. Some small tips: 1. There is a Three Gorges ship lift inside the dam, where you can experience the feeling of the ship rising with the water. If you are self-driving, it is recommended to book and purchase online in advance; if you are on a Three Gorges cruise ship, you can ask the ship to help buy it. 2. The scenic area is still relatively large, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes to play, self-driving friends need to consult the scenic area in advance, bring relevant documents for registration and inspection. 3. The Three Gorges Dam tourist area is a very educational place, I hope that all friends who go to visit can calm down, appreciate this world-famous water conservancy project, see the great tools of the great country, and be proud of the motherland!NomadicWonder

In August, I arrived in Yichang, Hubei. This is mainly a scenic spot related to the Three Gorges. It is very shocking to take a bus to the Three Gorges Dam. There are two dikes, one large and one small. There is an observation deck. The photo location is very good, but the dam cannot go up.
20240330 All day: 1. The Three Gorges Dam is the world's largest water conservancy hub building today. It integrates flood control, power generation, shipping and water resources utilization. It is the main body of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station. The dam is 2335 meters long and the dam is 185 meters high. When the annual power generation exceeds 100 billion million after completion, Annual navigation capacity increased four times, transportation cost savings of about 36%. The scenic spot covers an area of 15.28 square kilometers. It was opened to the public in 1997. It consists of five areas: Tanziling, 185 platform, Three Gorges Engineering Museum, Shut-down Memorial Park, and the world-famous Dam Micro-Landscape Park. It is a good place for viewing photography and popular science learning. Several national leaders have come to visit. The scenic spot is a one-way tour, and you can only take a shuttle bus between stations, not hiking. ① Address: Binhu Community, Zigui County, Yichang City, Hubei Province ② Transportation: direct bus, easy to drive ③ peak season: no ④ Time: 4 hours ⑤ Ticket price: 35 yuan (including shuttle bus) 2. Tanziling is the first stop of the shuttle bus, named because it looks like an inverted jar, the altitude is 262.48 meters, Provide an viewing angle overlooking the Three Gorges Dam. This area has: ① Level 5 Escalator: You can go directly to the top of the mountain, and the peach blossoms on both sides of the elevator are in full bloom. Level 5 lock: The lock that the dam first has, the shuttle bus will pass by the lock on the way, but you can't get off and visit. In 2016, the construction of the elevator lock was completed. Ships under 3,000 tons can directly take the elevator to rise 113 meters. The cornerstone of the Three Gorges Dam Site: a granite column, which is a sample stone taken during exploration before the dam is built. The 31 km river section of the dam is granite geology. It is a rare place to build the dam.④ Fountain: The middle of the pool is an eight-sided sculpture ⑤ Tanziling Range Rover: double-layer round stone altar, the top floor of the central station has a monitoring stone pillar, and the Tanziling relief is set up by the Yangtze River Survey Planning and Design Research Institute: located on the wall of the platform, the content is Bachu culture, river management, The material is Qinling red sandstone ⑦ 10,000 years of river bottom strange stone: Irregular granite on the small fountain platform, weighing more than 20 tons, with more holes in the body, there is a history of more than 800 million years ⑧ Three Gorges Dam Model: a bungalow, the middle of the interior is the miniature model of the Three Gorges Dam, Surrounded by cultural and creative shops ⑨ China Three Gorges Consumption Assistance Love Station: Agricultural Products Specialty Corridor in all poor areas. The Three Gorges Group implements the national rural revitalization strategy, and supports and helps many poor areas to develop regional agricultural products. The 185 platform is named because it is located at an altitude of 185 meters, providing an viewing angle of the Three Gorges Dam, but it cannot be boarded. This area is a walk from Tanziling or a battery car for 10 yuan. The landscape is: ① rare plant conservation area: large green areas, each area is dotted with different kinds of flowers and plants ② Three Gorges Project Picture Display Area: A row of picture exhibition ③ Testing logo: Small stone pillars ④ Cultural and Creative Store established by the Comprehensive Survey Bureau of the Yangtze River Water Conservancy Committee; There are many fashion road signs hanging on the top of the store. 4. The Three Gorges Engineering Museum is the second stop of the shuttle bus. It is a two-story modern building located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, 1 km away from the dam. Construction started in 2015 and opened in 2022... The number of words is overrun, continue in the last picture
The Three Gorges Dam is majestic and worthy of being the great weapon of the country. Fortunately, I visited the Three Gorges Dam with my husband today. The service of the Three Gorges Dam is also very good. There are traffic cars to pull to the platform and you can take pictures as much as you want.
The Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area should be experienced. It is very suitable for friends of all sizes to improve the pride of the motherland. Seeing the real display of the river on the TV before, the shock is incomparable.
It feels shocking to take the children to visit the Three Gorges Dam. It is very educational. The weight of the country is worthy of it.
Big country heavy equipment, the Three Gorges Dam is well-deserved, scenic tickets are free, only need to buy 35 yuan bus tickets. Don't take the battery car, don't ask for the price. After asking, they will dislike you for not being willing to spend those few dollars. You will miss the good scenery after sitting.
