Vertical Ship Lift of the Three Gorges

We finally got in touch with the Three Gorges Dam and experienced the world's largest "ship elevator" - the Three Gorges ship lift. We switched to a small cruise ship and slowly drove into the dam, and the lifter lifted the ship in the "tray" with the water by cable to 113 meters, taking less than 10 minutes, and felt particularly smooth inside the ship. The maximum lifting weight of the ship lifter can reach 1.55 tons, which is equivalent to raising the height of more than 10,000 cars to 40 floors, and the maximum passing through the ship is 3,000 tons. It takes three or four hours for the ship to pass through the Three Gorges five-level lock, and the Three Gorges ship lifter quickly "turns the dam" in only 40 minutes. Therefore, the ship through the Three Gorges Dam has the image of "small boats climbing stairs, large boats taking elevators".

First pass the Gezhouba lock, then take the ship lift, there is a tour guide, the day trip is not tired, 7:30 Three Gorges Visitor Center by boat, the afternoon pier by car back, the main shock, withdrawal of the big country heavy equipment

This is very good, you can feel the Gezhou Dam passing the boat, the upgrade of the Three Gorges Dam can also take the cruise ship to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Straits, very good, much more cost-effective than the only upgrade on the Three Gorges cruise ship, very worth

Human project, clever design, shocking! Very worth a visit

It was really shocking to experience the process of rising the boat. Great.

The whole region tour has an extra experience of the Three Gorges Lift, which is very worth it. It is very shocking to see the Three Gorges Dam on the river. It is recommended!
